I always love your responses. I didn't know about COMDAT, but I did use the SAS compiler on the Amiga which was Cfront based. I didn't know enough to be horrified, but I often looked at the output because I was integrating the output with regular C code (interpreters, Arexx, etc). It was kinda like Hungarian Notation++ ;) I got to the point where it felt natural to read the name mangling. The Amiga SAS/C compiler was also pretty slow. I can see how ZTC would be popular in by skipping intermediates and not having to reinvoke the compiler. How many problems from the 80s melted away because of the large amount of ram available in the 90s?
