-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2011-17133 2011-12-16 19:19:42 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : pcc Product : Fedora 15 Version : 1.0.0 Release : 2.20111216cvs.fc15 URL : http://pcc.ludd.ltu.se/ Summary : The Portable C Compiler Description : The compiler is based on the original Portable C Compiler by Stephen C. Johnson, written in the late 70's. Even though much of the compiler has been rewritten, some of the basics still remain. PCC debuted in Unix Version 7 and replaced the DMR compiler (Dennis Ritchie's original C compiler) in both System V and the BSD 4.x releases. Some history about pcc is in the A History of UNIX before Berkeley: UNIX Evolution: 1975-1984 and in the Evolution of C. About 50% of the frontend code and 80% of the backend code has been rewritten. Most stuff is written by Anders Magnusson, with the exception of the data-flow analysis part and the SSA conversion code which is written by Peter A Jonsson, and the Mips port that were written as part of a project by undergraduate students at Luleå University of Technology (LTU). Caution: the compiler is still undergoing heavy development. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Update to newest CVS snapshot, fixing BZ #708305. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Fri Dec 16 2011 Jussi Lehtola <[email protected]> - 1.0-2.20111216cvs - Use cvs checkout once again, fixing BZ #708305. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #708305 - C program compiled with pcc doesn't work https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=708305 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
