1100.0. "ANSI-C COMPILERS?" by STKHLM::ARENDI (Jaak Arendi TSC/VIA) Sat Mar 23 1991 19:17

    Hi!
    Does anyone know if the latest versions of Mark Williams and Lattice
    C are ANSI-C versions.

1100.3Prospero PRO-C IS ANSIBAGELS::FELDMANJerry Feldman DTN 226-5271Mon Mar 25 1991 14:121
    The only ST C compiler which I know is ANSI is Prospero PRO-C.
1100.4HiSoft Lattice should also be ANSI-C.STKHLM::ARENDIJaak Arendi TSC/VIATue Mar 26 1991 15:538
1100.5Lattice also had fixed stack sizeBAGELS::FELDMANJerry Feldman DTN 226-5271Wed Mar 27 1991 12:4511
    While I have not used a recent version of Lattice, one of the main
    problems I saw with Lattice as a language for developing applications
    is that the stack size adjustment was performed at RUN time. This is
    not really an acceptable feature. Most other C compilers allow the
    developer to specify stack size at compile time by setting a global
    variable, or at link time by linking in a different startup module.
    Lattice (version 3.x) provided neither capability. Therefore, the
    resultant module, when loaded, took most of the available memory, which
    rendered malloc almost useless.

    Wrong! BORLAND Turbo C for ATARI-ST is ANSI too. Since V1.0. Current
    Version is 2.03.

	Does anyone use Turbo C?  I am real interested in knowing how
	it works?

	What kind of speed?

	Code size?

	Compiler Speed?

1100.8I'm using it - great !FROCKY::ECKELWed Sep 25 1991 11:4611
    I use Turbo C 2.0 since about 1.5 years. Speed is best i've ever seen
    on the ST. Possibilities to configure stack size (as mentioned in one
    of the replies above) is given. Furthermore you can customize such
    things like Optimization, ANSI yes/no, Automatic use of register
    variables etc.pp.
    
    Also available there is a source level debugger of similar quality and
    versability. And, it has quite few bugs, related to any other C product
    for the ST.
    
    regards, Peter.
