mk -> mick, but with a very short i, like in MacArthur.

Don't breathe too deeply...

[9fans] more cc questions

[Quinn Dunkan]

Is there documentation for the c compiler's error msgs anywhere?  One thing
that's slowing me down working on plan9 is trying to figure out what the
compiler is telling me.  I'm not exactly a super experienced c programmer, so
sometimes it takes me a bit to get the hang of it.

The compiler documentation doesn't mention that if you give a second
'-p' flag it will print the cpp command line.  I used this to discover that
it doesn't pass through the '-+' option.  I think it should.  Here's a diff:
; diff lex.old.c lex.c
207a208,211
> 			if(debug['+']) {
> 				sprint(opt, "-+");
> 				av[i++] = strdup(opt);
> 			}
;

How do you pronounce 'mk'?  Not that I've ever needed to, but someday I might.
"plan 9 make" is the best I've come up with, but it's a bit wordy.

As a unix user, I am once again struck by the rampant sanity in plan9 :)

Yes, it should.  Thanks for the fix.
