A Detailed Tour Through the /6 Portable C Compiler

This paper details the internal structure of the C compiler written for the
Harris /6 minicomputer.  The compiler is based on the Portable C Compiler
(PCC) [Johnson79].  In addition to a description of the workings
of the compiler, related topics such as the porting process are
discussed.   This document is intended
to suplement the authors thesis [Leffler80], as well as supply future
users of PCC with insight into the work necessary to write a
new C compiler based on PCC.  While a number of problems encountered in
porting PCC to the /6 are due to the primitive machine architecture, it
is hoped these experiences may be beneficial to others.  All specific details
of the compiler and examples are taken from the /6 version of PCC.
