1.1 _O_n_l_i_n_e__R_e_l_e_a_s_e__N_o_t_e_s
After you install the online documentation for a
product (the relnotes subsystem), you can view
the release notes on your screen.
If you have a graphics system, select Release
Notes from the Help submenu of the Toolchest.
This displays the grelnotes(1) graphical browser
for the online release notes. For information
on options to this command, refer to the
grelnotes(1) man page.
If you do not have a graphics system, you can
use the relnotes command. For information on
accessing the online release notes using this
command, refer to the relnotes(1) man page.
1.2 _P_r_o_d_u_c_t__S_u_p_p_o_r_t
Silicon Graphics(R) provides a comprehensive
product support maintenance program for its

The ANSI C compiler is an environment for
compiling programs written in the ANSI C
programming language.
The MIPSpro 7.3 ANSI C compiler requires the
installation of the following subsystems:
+o c_fe
+o c_dev
+o compiler_dev
+o compiler_eoe
For descriptions of the compiler_dev and
compiler_eoe subsystems, see their respective
release notes. The following sections provide a
brief description of the c_fe and c_dev
subsystems, respectively.
1.4.1 _A_N_S_I__C__C_o_m_p_i_l_e_r__F_r_o_n_t__E_n_d
The MIPSpro 7.3 ANSI C compiler front end is
separately packaged in the c_fe subsystem. The
ANSI C front end consists of the 64-bit compiler
version, the 32-bit compiler version, the high
performance 32-bit version, the release notes,
and the online compiler man page, cc(1). For
more information about 64-bit and high
performance 32-bit interfaces, see the _M_I_P_S_p_r_o
_6_4-_b_i_t _P_o_r_t_i_n_g _a_n_d _T_r_a_n_s_i_t_i_o_n _G_u_i_d_e and the

The ANSI C development package (c_dev) consists
of a driver, utilities, libraries, include
files, a copy of the release notes, man pages,
and the _C _P_r_o_g_r_a_m_m_e_r'_s _R_e_f_e_r_e_n_c_e _G_u_i_d_e.
