Ok all you Guys 'n Girls, its another edition of :-
"lets try the new Greenhills C compiler".
We have (yet) another version (1.7.18). This one produces exactly the same
code as the last version (1.7.17). but fixes some bugs that we hadn't found
yet. I have checked that the code is the same, and it is. Sooo...
please make the following change to your login.com (or wherever you do it).
$ ncc:==$sys$sysdevice:[green.1v7v18]ccom.exe ! new one
Please could everyone start using this version as we should get rid
of the old versions. The new one has been used for a couple of weeks and
doesn't seem to have any fatal bugs.
I would prefer to have people make the change themselves, rather than
putting the compiler in UTL$EXE and just change it when a new version
comes in, as that could upset an unsuspecting programmer.
It is necessary to use the latest version so we can get feedback to
Greenhills on improvements, bugs etc.
Any problems, comments etc. mail to this address.
Thanks.
Jim.
