I am interested in any information (personal testimony or pointer to a publication on the subject) about C compilers for the PDP-11 (RSX11M+). Currently I am using the Whitesmith compiler. While this compiler is good and seems to conform to ANSI it has its drawbacks. I am looking for optimization first (Overall Speed and floating point optimization). i.e., I am looking for a code generator which uses floating point only assembly language and does not convert to double precision. Conforming to ANSI is a secondary requirement. If they support prototyping, that would be sufficient. As long as the company intends to upgrade to ANSI, I would be satisfied. thanks, kc Arpanet address: KCarpenter.El_Segundo@Xerox.COM phone: 213-333-7394
