Runtime-Support Functions
Some of the tasks that a C program must perform (such as floating-point
arithmetic, string operations, and dynamic memory allocation) are not part of
the C language. The runtime-support functions, which are included with the
C compiler, are standard functions that perform these tasks. The runtime-
support library rts
.lib
contains the object code for each of the functions
described in this section; the library rts. src contains the source to these
functions as well as to other functions and routines. If you use any of the
runtime-support functions, be sure to include rts.
lib
as linker input when
you link your C program.
This section is divided into three parts:
•
Part 1 describes header files and discusses their functions.
•
Part 2 summarizes the runtime-support functions according to category.
•
Part 3 is an alphabetical reference.
You can find these topics on the following pages:
