I need your help, I'm going to buy (or copy a PD or ShareWare) C-compiler for my ST. I have 520ST with 1M RAM, 20M HD and B&W monitor. Features of a C-compiler I need are: - fast graphics - compact and FAST code - fast math libraries If there is an easy way to write inline-assembly and access to system variables I can write graphic routines myself. Features I do not need (but which are welcome) are: - fast compiler - (source code) debugger Which compiler is the best one for me ?? Any info is welcome!! If you e-mail me, I'll summarize here. PS: sorry 'bout my broken English... +-----------------------------+----------+------------------------------------+ | #### Timo Suhonen | CCCP | BitNet: TE_SUHONEN@FINJYU.BitNet | | #### | Cute & | | | # ## # egrep Meaning Life | Clever | InterNet: suhonen@tukki.jyu.fi | | ## ## ## | Computer | te_suhonen@jylk.jyu.fi | |## ## ## | Person | | +-----------------------------+----------+------------------------------------+

This is a german company; also all its documentation is in german. The code is very fast; standard no assembler and debugger but separate available. Assembly is not often needed as it has extensive libraries. One drawback: its math libraries can't be to fast, as all fp calculations are done in 80 bit IEEE format(i.e. extende format). I just have this compiler a few days, but i am impressed by its speed ( both of the compiler and, but espescially, of the produced code). Klamer. PS I am not connected to the producer of the compiler -- ________________________________________________________________________________ Klamer Schutte mcvax!nikhefh!{n62,Schutte} {Schutte,n62}@nikhefh.hep.nl
