BCC is an alternative ACS compiler. If you are taking full advantage of BCS, it is recommended to use [[BCSUtils]] -- a version of ACSUtils with full support for BCS [[strict typing]].

If you are using BCC to compile regular ACS, ACSUtils is still fully supported in BCC, but will cause type errors if you enable [[strict typing]]. To avoid strict typing errors, you need to use [[BCSUtils]].
  

===== Caveats =====

==== Functions return 0 by default (not a bug) ====

<code>
function int f() {} // returns 0
</code>

If a function that returns a value reaches the end, and there is no "return" statement at the end, the function returns 0. This is done to avoid false compiler errors like this:

<code>
function int f(void)
{
    if (x)
        return 1;
    else
        return 2;
    
    // ACC will complain that the function doesn't return a value
}
</code>

===== Fixed bugs =====

==== Named clientside scripts are not clientside [fixed in 0.8.0] ====

BCC fails to mark named clientside scripts as clientside, so they end up actually being serverside. Instead, it marks an unnamed, not necessarily existing script as clientside.
