Small-C is both a subset of the C programming language, suitable for resource-limited microcomputers and embedded systems, and an implementation of that subset.Originally valuable as an early compiler for microcomputer systems available during the late 1970s and early 1980s, the implementation has also been useful as an example simple enough for teaching purposes.

PL/C was implemented as a compile and go system, [1] similar to WATFOR. [21] It ran on the IBM System/360 and System/370 under OS and HASP. [22] As such, it was designed to run within a 128K byte partition, where the PL/C software and the generated object code took a maximum of 100K bytes. [7]
Translation units define a scope, roughly file scope, and functioning similarly to module scope; in C terminology this is referred to as internal linkage, which is one of the two forms of linkage in C. Names (functions and variables) declared outside of a function block may be visible either only within a given translation unit, in which case they are said to have internal linkage – they are ...
An intermediate language is the language of an abstract machine designed to aid in the analysis of computer programs.The term comes from their use in compilers, where the source code of a program is translated into a form more suitable for code-improving transformations before being used to generate object or machine code for a target machine.
The C Programming Language (sometimes termed K&R, after its authors' initials) is a computer programming book written by Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie, the latter of whom originally designed and implemented the C programming language, as well as co-designed the Unix operating system with which development of the language was closely intertwined.
C compilers do not name mangle symbols in the way that C++ compilers do. [20] Depending on the compiler and architecture, it also may be the case that calling conventions differ between the two languages. For these reasons, for C++ code to call a C function foo(), the C++ code must prototype foo() with extern "C".
In computer science, pointer analysis, or points-to analysis, is a static code analysis technique that establishes which pointers, or heap references, can point to which variables, or storage locations.
