Dufoe) Newsgroups: comp.sys.amiga Subject: Update for Lattice C Compiler Message-ID: <787@jc3b21.UUCP> Date: Fri, 19-Dec-86 13:42:38 EST Article-I.D.: jc3b21.787 Posted: Fri Dec 19 13:42:38 1986 Date-Received: Sun, 21-Dec-86 07:36:13 EST Organization: St. Petersburg Jr. College, FL Lines: 115 Keywords: Lattice C compiler version 3.10 For those of you who need information about the Lattice C compiler update for the Amiga, here is the official word from Lattice. If you bought your C compiler from Commodore instead of directly from Lattice you are probably not registered with Lattice and therefore have not received any information about updates. That is my situation, so I wrote Lattice about it. I received a letter from Lattice which explained I could become registered by sending in my original disk. I would have to do that to get the new version at the upgrade price. Enclosed with the letter was the following description of the new version: Product: Lattice AmigaDOS C Compiler Version 3.10 Release Date: November 17, 1986 Version 3.10 of the Lattice AmigaDOS C Compiler is a professional C language development tool for the Commodore Amiga. -- NEW FEATURES -- Version 3.10 includes the following features: o A more integrated environment to greatly facilitate compiles including: o a two disk package that includes a bootable system disk to simplify installation. o an object module disassembler. o an object module librarian. o a full macro assembler. o a new, faster, more efficient linker. o single cmmand line execution of compiler, librarian, and linker (with AmigaDOS wildcard characters). o direct compiler usage of environment variables. o A greatly enhanced library with over 255 functions (over 100 functions more than the standard AmigaDOS C Compiler): o increased library modularity to reduce load module sizes. o a large number of library functions written in assembler to improve execution speed. o faster pointer and integer math. o faster IEEE floating point routines (at least 5x). o direct support of the Amiga's FFP format floating point library. o multi-tasking support via fork() and wait(). o improved handling of task interruption via ctrl-c. o Direct compiler support of memory type specification. o Custom segment names to allow tighter control of fragmentation. o New addressing modes that can help reduce load module sizes by more than 20%. o Completely new, expanded documentation. While remaining compatible with previous software, we have extended the object file format to include base-relative addressing, and out linker will support base-relative addressing modes and pc-relative branches to target locations that might otherwise be out of range. Addressing modes may be freely mixed in a program. The Lattice AmigaDOS C Compiler also includes Text Management Utilities, a collection of useful text utilities valued at $75 if purchased separately. A Professional AmigaDOS C Compiler developer's package is also available. This package bundles over $600 worth of the most popular and useful development software and includes: o Lattice AmigaDOS C Compiler V3.10 o Lattice Make Utility (LMK), similat to UNIX 'make' o Lattice Screen Editor (LSE) o Metadigm's Metascope Debugger (a symbolic debugger) -- ALSO AVAILABLE -- As a lower cost alternative Lattice also offers the AmigaDOS C Compiler, version 1.2, an updated version of the popular C language product also sold by Commodore/Amiga. Available at a much lower cost, this product features: o Support of memory type specification o Custom segment names o 100% compatibility with th Amiga Object File Format o The Amiga overlay linker - alink o An object module disassembler AmigaDOS C Comipler provides an affordable alternative for the computer hobbyist. -- PRICE INFORMATION -- List Upgrade ---- ------- Lattice AmigaDOS C Compiler, V3.10 $225 $75 Professional AmigaDOS C Compiler $375 $225 List Upgrade ---- ------- AmigaDOS C Compiler, V1.2 $149 $25 (disk-only) --Fabbian Dufoe 350 Ling-A-Mor Terrace South St. Petersburg, Florida 33705 813-823-2350 UUCP: ...akgua!usfvax2!jc3b21!fgd3
