solc：solidity的编译器
solidity编写的以太坊智能合约可通过命令行编译工具solc来进行编译，成为以太坊虚拟机中的代码。solc编译后最终部署到链上形成我们所见到的各种智能合约。
作为一个solidity命令行编译工具，我们来看看官网都怎么说solc。
solc的安装很简单：
npm install -g solc
//或者
npm install -g solc-cli
//或者
sudo apt-get install solc
安装完成后我们来看，solc --help，solc --help命令显示所有的solc命令选项。编译器可以生成各种输出，比如最终的二进制合约文件、语法树的汇编或者需要预计的要花费的gas等。solc --bin sourceFile.sol，可以编译后输出一个名为sourceFile.sol的智能合约文件。如果你想从solc获得更丰富的一些输出变量，你可以使用solc -o outputDirectory --bin --ast --asm sourceFile.sol。
你在部署以太坊智能合约之前可以用solc --optimize --bin sourceFile.sol优化一下。默认情况下solc编译器会帮你优化200次。你也可以设置 --runs=1，这样就按照最小化的方式进行编译，如果你希望多次交易不太在乎成本，那你可以设置成你想要的次数:)。
命令行编译器会自动读取需要导入的文件，也可以通过使用prefix = path来指定路径，例如：
solc github.com/ethereum/dapp-bin/=/usr/local/lib/dapp-bin/ =/usr/local/lib/fallback file.sol
这样编译器就会从指定目录github.com/ethereum/dapp-bin/下的/usr/local/lib/dapp-bin/目录开始搜索，如果没有找到文件，它将查看/usr/local/lib/fallback。solc将只读取你指定的这两个路径的，因此像import "/etc/passwd";必须要通过/=重新映射才起作用。如果有多个匹配，则选择具有最长公共前缀的进行匹配。
出于安全上的考虑，编译器限制了它可以访问的一些目录。在命令行中指定的源文件的路径（及其子目录）和命令行指定的路径外其他所有内容都会被拒绝。--allow-paths /sample/path,/another/sample/path来切换。
如果智能合约使用了libraries，你会注意到字节码包含了__LibraryName______的子字符串。您可以使用solc作为链接器，这意味着它将在这些点为您插入库地址。
可以通过添加库--libraries "Math:0x12345678901234567890 Heap:0xabcdef0123456"到您的命令，以提供每个库的地址，或者使用文件中的说明字符串（每行一个库），并使用--libraries fileName运行solc。
如果用选项--link调用Solc，则所有输入文件都被解释为未链接的二进制文件（HEX编码），在上面给出的__LibraryName____格式中，将其链接到适当地址（如果从stdin读取输入，则将其写入stdout）。在这种情况下，除了库外，所有选项都被忽略（包括-o）。
如果用--standard-json调用SOLC，它就将标准的JSON输入（如下所述），并返回JSON输出。
solc编译器输入输出JSON描述
这些JSON格式通过编译器API使用，可以通过SOLC获得。内容都是可以修改的，一些对象是可选的（如前所述），其目的是向后兼容。
编译器的API需要一个JSON格式的输入，然后以JSON格式输出编译结果。
注意不允许注释。下面示例中的注释，是官网为了学习者更好的理解标注的。
