While compiling a C program recently with the Minix V1.2 Compiler on a 80386 machine the compiler aborted and gave the following message: error: Bombed out of codegen. By selectively commenting out pieces of the program I traced the problem down to the following single statement: sum += 0xFF & *p++ ; where p is a character pointer and sum is a long. I found that I could work around this problem by rewriting the C statement as follows: sum = sum + (0xFF & *p++) ; Question: Is there a later version of the compiler that is more stable or an alternative C compiler that runs under Minix.
