Supported Platforms

• Linux
• Mac/OS X
• Solaris
• Windows (under Cygwin)

ACC Generated Code Executed on the Following Platforms

• under all of the above
• under and within OS/161 (teaching Operating System running on a MIPS-1 instruction set)
• within NUT/OS on an ATmega 128 RISC micro-controller

If you build AspeCt-oriented C successfully on other platforms or successfully run ACC generated code on an exotic platform, please contact us.

A Larger Stress Testing Experiment

acc V 0.5 was successfully used to advice all functions of gcc, g++, c++, and gcj.

#include <stdio.h>

before():call($ $(...)){
  fprintf(stderr, "%s\n", this->funcName);
}

fprintf is used to print to standard error since gcc uses standard out to create intermediate files.

Build and Test

The following description assumes a Linux environment and a sufficiently recent installation of gcc (version 2.9 or higher.)

You can build the ACC compiler and run the test cases as follows:

>tar -xvf ACC.tar          <--- unzip the tar file

>cd ACC

>make                             <--- build and run the test cases

...
result:				    <--- build is successful and all test cases pass
total=38, succeed = 38 , fail = 0

The ACC compiler resides in the src/working directory with name acc.

Note, some of our builds are distributed as compressed ".bz2" files. To uncompressed, either use bunzip or "tar -j".

To uncompess, either use

>tar -jvf ACC.tar.bz2          <--- to uncompress the tar file

or

>bunzip ACC.tar.bz2          <--- to uncompress the tar file

Special Targets

The following special build targets are supported:

1. 'build' : only builds the ACC compiler.
2. 'test' : only runs the test cases, assuming the ACC compiler is already built.
3. 'clean' : removes the ACC compiler and working directory created when running the test cases.

runTest Script

Optionally, you could run individual or all test cases by using the runTest script under the ACC/test directory, like this:

>cd ACC/test

>./runTest case01 case02	<--- run individual test cases

or

>./runTest case*		<--- run all test cases

If the ACC compiler is not in the default directory, set ACCTEST variable to point to the ACC compiler before running the runTest script as follows:

 
>ACCTEST=~/myacc/acc

>export ACCTEST

>cd ACC/test

>./runTest case*
