I think it would be healthy for such a list to exist and be updated. I am for the moment particularly interested in the following cases: gnu cc on SUN, original K&R c compiler on VAX/UNIX, VAX C on VMS, the C compiler normally resident on SUN, ditto for VAX/UNIX (probably the same as K&R: I don't know the history). I'm also interested in a few for the IBM PC XT such as Optimizing C86 Compiler from Computer Innovations and the DeSmet C compiler. I could of course read the documentation for each one in the hope of finding what I want to know. But it seems that a database of specifications for various implementations of various c compilers would be a more general and useful solution. If it doesn't exist, it seems that there must be enough expertise on this network to create one overnight. I welcome your comments and suggestions. Sincerely, Allan Adler ADLER1@BRANDEIS.BITNET
