The compiler performs simple optimizations, but the bulk of the optimization is done by +a set of peep-hole rules, which will typically reduce the size of a large project by up to a third. +.RS +.PP +The libraries supplied with z88dk are designed to be as generic as possible, indeed it is possible +to port to a new machine simply by supplying two library routines and some startup code. It is hoped +that one day z88dk will support as many z80 based machines as there is information available and sufficient interest in. +.PP +z88dk contains usable tools: +.IP \(bu 3 +zcc - the frontend of z88dk is called zcc, it is this that you should call if you want to do any compilations. +.IP \(bu 3 +z80asm - Z80 assembler compiler +.IP \(bu 3 +copt - Z80 asm optimizer code +.IP \(bu 3 +appmake - produce files which are suitable for use in emulators or on the real hardware +.IP \(bu 3 +sccz80 - Small-C/Plus compiler +.SH SEE ALSO +\fBz88dk\fP(1), \fBz88dk-zcc\fP(1), \fBz88dk-z80asm\fP(1), \fBz88dk-appmake\fP(1), \fBz88dk-copt\fP(1). +.RE +.PP + +.SH AUTHOR +z88dk was written by Dominic Morris <dom@z88dk.org>, and others. +This manual page was written by Krystian Wlosek <tygrys@waw.pdi.net> using exists documentation, for the Debian GNU/Linux system. |
