COMMERCIAL COMPILER
| Embarcadero (was Borland) | last update 7-25-2009 |
I used Borland back in my MS-DOS days when they made Turbo C, and
that compiler was ahead of it's time--small footprint, fast,
conformed to the latest ANSI standards, compiled everything flawlessly,
and had lots of handy library functions for DOS programmers. It was
only when I needed a clean 32-bit compiler that I switched to
DJGPP's GNU C (see DJGPP section) in the late 1980's and early 1990's.
Borland's compiler is now owned by
Embarcadero as of July 2008
and is called
C++Builder
(2009 edition as of July 2009).
There is a
FAQ page and a
product edition page. Prices for the professional, enterprise, and
architect editions are $900, $2000, and $3500, respectively.
A free version is still available--see the freeware compiler column.
