Why should I favor this compiler instead of gcc or clang?
- exikyut 8y agoIt was the first 3rd party compiler for Windows (1.0) It's apparently really nice to use (I'm on Linux :( ) It was written by one person It targets DOS, Windows and OS/2 (mostly Win32)
- WalterBright 8y agoFor a while it was the only C++ compiler for Windows. (I had figured out how to do all the various weird stack frame variations Windows required.) We sold a lot of those :-)
- exikyut 8y agoInteresting to know.
- WalterBright 8y agoOn Windows, DMC++ being developed on Windows tends to just work better on Windows. My experience in general with Linux tools ported to Windows is the adaptation to the Windows file system conventions is incomplete.
