Run-Time-Support Functions
Run-Time-Support Functions
Some of the tasks that a C program performs (such as I/O, dynamic memory
allocation, string operations, and trigonometric functions) are not part of the
C language itself. However, the ANSI C standard defines a set of run-time-sup-
port functions that perform these tasks. The TMS320C2x/C2xx/C5x C compil-
er implements the complete ANSI standard library except for those facilities
that handle exception conditions and locale issues (properties that depend on
local language, nationality, or culture). Using the ANSI standard library
ensures a consistent set of functions that provide for greater portability.
In addition to the ANSI-specified functions, the TMS320C2x/C2xx/C5x run-
time-support library includes routines that give you processor-specific com-
mands and direct C language I/O requests.
A library build utility is provided with the code generation tools that lets you
create customized run-time-support libraries. The use of this utility is covered
in Chapter 8,
