Greenhills C compiler version 1.7.18

(1 / 1)


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.
