I'm p***** off with the C-compiler that Sun deliver with SunOS 4.0.3! It
is not a bit Ansi compatible and the include-files (well that's actually
Sun's problem not the compilers) is very well unplanned! (They have to be
included in a specific order and must only be included once or you get
double defines!)
Is there any better C-compiler (or real C++, not preprocessor) for the
Sparc1 and how is the compiler in 4.1 - the same?

Welcome to UNIX C, Leif... >Is there any better C-compiler (or real C++, not preprocessor) for the >Sparc1 and how is the compiler in 4.1 - the same? GCC is ported to Sun-4's. MetaWare sell High-C for Suns. I believe GreenHills may sell a SPARC C compiler. Certainly the first two are as ANSI-compliant as almost anything around, and MetaWare is purported to generate better code, though I can't speak from personal experience yet. I do know MetaWare have a mostly-automatic inliner that gains some speed.
