1 This is ACK distribution 5.5.
3 The only addition with respect to the 5th ACK distribution is the support
4 for Solaris 2 on SPARCs. It also contains many bug fixes.
6 Notes for the 5th ACK distribution:
8 It is not wise to mix files created by the previous version of the Kit
9 with files belonging to this version, although that might sometimes work.
10 Many problems with the previous distribution have been fixed.
11 The major additions are:
14 - a LINT C program checker, both non-ansi and ansi
15 - an Intel 80386 back-end
16 - a SPARC code expander
17 - a source level debugger for Pascal, Modula-2, C, and ANSI C
18 - an Acorn Archimedes back-end
19 - code-expanders for VAX, Intel 80386 and Motorola M68020 processors,
20 and very fast Pascal, Modula-2, ANSI C, and C compilers constructed
21 using these code expanders
22 - a cc-compatible very fast C compiler for SUN-3 and VAX.
24 Also added, but not part of the Kit proper are
25 - flex: a lexical analyzer generator
26 - byacc: yacc-clone by UCB
27 - f2c: a Fortran to C compiler by AT&T.
