Which of the currently availible PD C compilers is the best in terms of features/ bug-lessness/ etc? I'm looking at both DICE and NorthC. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dennis Grant 3rd year CS student at Le College Militaire Royal de St-Jean DETUD595@CMR001.BITNET How much do I love thee?

I'm looking at both DICE and NorthC. Well, I can't address bugs, since I haven't done any testing on the latest versions of the various publicly distributable compilers, but I can mention at least one point in DICE's favor: Matt Dillon is (at least) a semi-regular poster to the c.s.a.* groups, and seems to be very concerned about getting out reliable software, so if you do find a bug, you could probably get it at least looked at fairly quickly. Another compiler you might look at is PDC, by L. Hummel. It's available for ftp, and it's appeared in Mr. Fishes' collection. -- Dave Schaumann | Is this question undecidable? dave@cs.arizona.edu |
