- INSTALLATION FOR DOS BASED MACHINES
-
- c:
- mkdir \oxbow
- cd \oxbow
- unzip -d oxcc1434 // or pkunzip
- make // runs the batch file make.bat
-
- At this point you will have a number of .exe files in the oxbow
- directory. You can add oxbow to the PATH variable in autoexec.bat
- or you can move the .exe files to a preferred directory.
- If you don't like the directory name `oxbow' you can pick another
- name but you will have to enter an environment variable `OXPATH'
- in the autoexec.bat file. e.g. SET OXPATH=mydir
-
-
- WHAT IS OXCC AND WHY SHOULD YOU BE INTERESTED
-
- OXCC is a multipass, interpreting C compiler with several language
- extensions. It generates an Architecture Neutral Format (ANF) output
- and comes with a couple of example back ends. Programmers are expected
- to write additional back ends for their specific needs.
-
- Language extensions have been inspired by GCC, MSC and Watcom C.
- OXCC is designed to produce 16 bit, 32 bit, 64 bit, segmented and
- flat model code for any target architecture and operating system.
- YOU WRITEM.
-
- OXCC can interpret it's input, it can also regenerate source code
- after interpretation. Source regeneration properly handles `malloced'
- data containing pointers. Slow mode interpretation keeps track of all
- pointers, references and initializations, including hidden pointers.
-
- OXCC is also callable as a subroutine or class from within the framework.
- It can even be called by a program which is being compiled (see toxcc.c).
- When called as a subroutine, the user can access all of the interesting
- internal structures such as the Abstract Syntax Tree and the symbol table
- at various stages of the multipass compilation.

- QUICK TEST
-
- After running `make.bat' and placing the .exe files in a directory in
- your path, or setting OXPATH; you can run `test.bat' which exercises the
- compiler `oxcc', the byte code backend `oxccb' and the byte code
- interpreter `bterp'.
