CSC448: Code Generation: Naming and Differences Between Windows and Linux [81/133]

mystdout is used to avoid clashes with stdout from the C standard library.

The code generator can generate the same code for both Windows and Linux.

There is one difference. On Windows, C function names must be prefixed by underscores, e.g., _main, _malloc, _printf. On Linux, C function names must not be prefixed by underscores, e.g., main, malloc, printf.

Your code generator should generate C function names with underscores (not for COOL method names) as in the example. The Ant file:build.xml can remove the underscores.

If you are using Windows, remove or comment out the two replace elements in file:build.xml.
