FREE COMPILER
| Digital Mars | last update 12-29-2011 |
This is one of three free C compilers not ported from GNU C. It
used to be Zortech C++ and then Symantec C++. Now it is
the Digital
Mars C/C++ Compilers by
Walter Bright.
This compiler (on v8.5 as of May 2009) has a reasonable footprint and
installs painlessly, and, thanks to some quick work by the author,
it flawlessly compiled all of the code in my
2002 Win32 Compiler Comparison and
performed admirably in my
2011 Win32/64 Compiler Comparison.
Digital Mars generates "Win32, Win16, DOS16 and DOS32" exe's
(though the development environment is Win32 only).
The Digital Mars web pages
have lots of interesting links (e.g. Walter Bright's new
D programming
language), and they are worth checking out.
