- An Improved Version of Arch Robison's "hash8"
-
- Some time ago, Arch Robison kindly provided me with a copy of his
- "hash8" program, which gives long-id capabilities to all C compilers.
- Briefly, hash8 replaces all long identifiers in a program with a
- numerically-based identifier of 6 characters. Options allow things
- like using debuggers with the original long names.
-
- I have extended Arch's program with a shell script, "lcc.sh", which
- does exactly what "cc" does, but compiles long-name programs. Unfortunately,
- the script is quite system-specific, and I have an odd configuration
- (68000 running UniSoft System V.0 with V7 compilers), so you will
- almost certainly have to edit it before it is completely compatible
- with your own "cc". Nevertheless, for those with older compilers,
- this is a life-saver.
