[comp.sys.atari.st] Hisoft C Interpreter

dnd15j9z@umiami.miami.edu (Frank Rachel) (09/01/90)

I Am about to embark on learning C on mt St.  I will basically be teaching
myself, but anyhow, here's my question.

I just read about HiSoft C Interpreter.

Does anyone recommend/not recommend this?

If You recommend it, can it be used in conjunction with Sozobon C, or
will I have to buy some other C package?

All help appreciated.  

-Frank

HiSoft C Interpreter has some strange features (and some bugs too!).
One of the most strange and disagreable feature is that you can only
examine extern variables. The interpreter is absolutely blind about
automatic variables.

IMHO I would say that Aztec C with sdb (Aztec C source level debugger)
or Mark Williams C with csd (MW debugger), are mutch better
choices.
