Plan 9's c compiler

[Vivien MOREAU]

Thx, Vivian.

I think this is telling me that there are 8 thousand files. Where is
Pcc, and what was the correct way to look for it with grep?

The source code is in sys/src/cmd/pcc/ . You could search for
it with find or du and grep, for example.

You should also look at some papers, especially "The
ANSI/POSIX Environment".

Why should he have clicked a link that he'd been to hundreds of times?

Well, it's been non-functional for a *YEAR*. You don't think he might
have tried it in that amount of time?

I like the way that, on every single occasion when any suggestion has
been made that your behavior might be rude, you've completely ignored it
in favor of attempts to insult or deride people, usually based on
completely unrelated trivia, like what host their newsreader is running
on.

... Well, "like" is maybe a bit strong a term. To be more specific, as
long as you appear to have no goals that in any way involve advancing or
furthering human society, but wish only to denigrate other people to try
to preserve for yourself some illusion of relative worth, I'm glad that
you're so stunningly obvious and incompetent about it that virtually no
one will ever take anything you say seriously.

And again, please stop using or advocating Linux, free software, or
anything else. "Advocates" like you are one of the major barriers to
broader acceptance of free software, because very few sane people would
willingly be thought to be in some way associated with or similar to
someone who behaves the way you do.

I do not claim to be an "advocate" for anything. That is you making
(more) incorrect assumptions.

Noted. My Vivvy is my niece in Portland, who I haven't seen in too long.

I'm looking for a pre-compiled C compiler. Is there one in all of this?

Thx. I'll take a look at these.

On the contrary, I appreciate the accomodation you make to communicate
in OP's mother tongue.

I'm feeling all international with the olympics. In particular, I was
happy to see the canucks roll over the world in hockey. Their ladies
can skate, forecheck and dig the puck out of the corner.

I feel a lot closer to them than my actual neighbors (Texas and Mexico).

Sorry about bringing the loser from the ubuntu forum into clc. I've
never seen such a dedicated ubuntu troll before, but then I've not seen
a lot of ubuntu things, being relatively new to it.

T-bird has their killfiles set up to go by newsgroup, so I'll add this
disturbingly-disturbed person to my clc killfile and recommend that
others do to...

fwiw, you can ploink at the server level in Thunderbird. Open message
filters from Tools. It's a separate window so you can brows groups and
add filters as needed.
Dan C doesn't nmyshift so you can nuke it server wide with one filter.

[ignore this if it's already been covered in c.lang.c. I'm replying from
the 'other' group...]

Oh, sorry. Look at 386/bin/pcc for an i386 binary.

$ ls -l sys/src/cmd/pcc/
ls: cannot access sys/src/cmd/pcc/: No such file or directory

Sorry, again. This is sys/src/cmd/pcc.c

[directories listings]

You don't have a complete source tree. You can download a
Plan9 ISO if you want to look at the sources directly on
your box.

We are now off-topic in clc. Maybe we could follow-up
to an other newsgroup, but I ignore which one would be
the more appropriate.

Why should he have clicked a link that he'd been to hundreds of times?

Only several dozens of times. I don't know whether it was set up
to be cacheable for a very long time, but when I did go to that
link the old site was still there - not the account suspended page.

But the mistake being made is to presume that because my newsreader
is capable of communicating over TCP/IP, that I must be able to
simply click on some text (which clearly was not a 'link', Dan C
is distorting the truth somewhat), and it will perform an HTTP
transaction, and render the resulting HTML. Well, sorry, that's
an assumption too far.

Which is a sometimes a shame, as I'd be tempted to head off to
the flame warriors webpage, and identify which one he is. Probably
part /Enfant Provocateur/, I'd guess. Well worth plonking, either
way.
