NAME

       tdfc2 - C to TDF/ANDF producer

SYNOPSIS

       tdfc2 [ options ] [ input-file ] [ output-file ]

DESCRIPTION

       In its default action, tdfc2 translates the input C source file, input-
       file, into a TDF/ANDF capsule, output-file.  If the output file name is
       omitted  or  is -, the standard output is used.  If the input file name
       is omitted or is -, the standard input is used.

       By use of the -sspec-file option, tdfc2 can  additionally  be  made  to
       output  a  C  spec file which contains information enabling intermodule
       analysis to be performed.  Alternatively usage  and  error  information
       suitable  for  processing  by  other  tools  can  be  output  using the
       -dopt=dump-file option.

       tdfc2 also has a preprocessing action, when invoked with the -E option,
       in  which  the  input  C source file, input-file, is preprocessed to an
       output file, ouput-file.

       Finally tdfc2 has a spec  linker  action,  when  invoked  with  the  -S
       option,  in  which  any  number  of  spec  input files, input-file, are
       combined into a spec output file, which may be specified using  the  -s
       option.  Any extra code generation resulting from this linking phase is
       written to the TDF capsule, output-file.

       It is recommended that tdfc2 is invoked via tcc(1).  The  -Yc++  option
       is  required  to enable the C capabilities.  Files with a .c suffix are
       recognised as C source files.  Options can be passed directly to  tdfc2
       using the -Wc,opt option to tcc.

OPTIONS

       The   command-line   options  can  appear  in  any  order  and  can  be
       interspersed with the input  and  output  files.   All  the  multi-part
       options  can  be  given either as one or two command-line arguments, so
       that -Idir and -I dir are equivalent.   Most  of  the  option  handling
       required  is handled by tcc(1) when this is being used, but options may
       be passed directly to tdfc2 using the -Wc,opt option.

       -Apredicate(tokens)
              Asserts that the given predicate is true.  The special case  -A-
              undefines all the built-in predicates (of which there are none).

       -Dmacro
              Defines the given macro to be 1.

       -Dmacro=tokens
              Defines   the   given   macro   to  be  the  given  sequence  of
              preprocessing tokens.

       -E     Enables preprocessing mode in which the input C source  file  is
              preprocessed into the output file.

       -Ffile Causes a list of options to be read from file.

       -H     Enables  verbose inclusion mode in which warnings are printed at
              the start and the end of each included source file.

       -Idirectory
              Adds the given directory to  the  list  searched  by  tdfc2  for
              included  source  files.   No  such  directories  are built into
              tdfc2.

       -Nname:directory
              Is identical to -Idirectory except that it also  associates  the
              given identifier with the directory.

       -S     Enables  spec  linker  mode  in which any number of C spec input
              files are linked into a single C spec output file.

       -Umacro
              Undefines the given macro.  The special case -U-  undefines  all
              the  built-in  macros.   These are __FILE__, __LINE__, __TIME__,
              __DATE__, __STDC__ and __STDC_VERSION__.

       -V     Causes tdfc2 to print the name of each function to the  standard
              output as it is compiled.

       -Woption
              Causes  tdfc2  to print a warning in the circumstances described
              by option.  The special case  -Wall  enables  a  wide  range  of
              warnings.

       -X     Disables  exception handling.  The current implementation can be
              a large run-time  overhead  if  not  required.   The  effect  of
              linking any module compiled with this option with a module which
              throws an exception is undefined.  This is equivalent to -j-e.

       -Znumber
              Sets the maximum  number  of  errors  printed  by  tdfc2  before
              bailing out to be number.  The default is 32.

       -a     Causes  tdfc2  to  apply  complete program analysis to its input
              files.  That is it assumes that no other translation units  need
              to be linked in order for the program to execute.

       -c     Disables  TDF output.  The output file will still be a valid TDF
              capsule,  only  it  will  contain  no  information.    This   is
              equivalent to -j-c.

       -dopt=dump-file
              Causes tdfc2 to dump information about its input file into dump-
              file.  opt is a series of characters describing the  information
              to  be dumped; c for string literals, e for errors, h for header
              files, k for keywords, l for local variables, m  for  macros,  s
              for scopes, and u for usage.  a is equivalent to ehlmu.

       -efile Specifies  the given file as an end-up file.  This is equivalent
              to adding a #include directive for this file at the end  of  the
              input source file.

       -ffile Specifies the given file as a start-up file.  This is equivalent
              to adding a #include directive for this file at the start of the
              input source file.

       -g     Specifies  that  the  output  TDF  capsule  should  also contain
              information to allow for the generation  of  run-time  debugging
              directives.  This is equivalent to -jg.

       -h     Causes  tdfc2 to print a full list of its available command-line
              options.  This includes a number not documented here  which  are
              unlikely to prove useful to the normal user.

       -jopt  Sets the TDF output options given by opt.

       -mopt  Sets the error formatting options given by opt.

       -nport-table
              Specifies  that  the  given  portability table should be used to
              specify the basic configuration parameters.

       -ooutput-file
              Gives an alternative method of specifying the output file.

       -q     Causes tdfc2 to quit immediately without  processing  its  input
              file.  This is useful primarily in version and option queries.

       -sspec-file
              Causes  tdfc2 to write a C spec file describing the input source
              file to spec-file.

       -t     Specifies that tdfc2 should include token  declarations  in  its
              output  TDF capsule.  While these are strictly unnecessary, they
              help when pretty-printing the output.   This  is  equivalent  to
              -jt.

       -u name ... name
              Causes  tdfc2  to  print the unmangle forms of the given mangled
              identifier names.

       -v     Causes tdfc2 to print its version number.

       -w     Disables all warning messages.  This is equivalent to -mw.

       -z     Forces tdfc2 to produce  an  output  file  even  if  compilation
              errors  occur.   The effect of installing a TDF capsule produced
              using this option is undefined.  This is equivalent to -mz.
