What is the best m2 compiler for the Sun 3? It must: - generate native code - be stable (not being beta-tested on paying customers) - be good at supporting low-level gunge (inc. cross-calling to assembler and C) - have good and well-documented libraries - specify its semantics a LOT better than Wirth's manuals do. Price is not particularly important, quality IS. The last ounce of efficiency in code generation is nowhere near as important as the absence of semantic boobytraps. Does this thing exist? -- ARPA: jack%cs.glasgow.ac.uk@nss.cs.ucl.ac.uk USENET: jack@cs.glasgow.uucp JANET:jack@uk.ac.glasgow.cs useBANGnet: ...mcvax!ukc!cs.glasgow.ac.uk!jack Mail: Jack Campin, Computing Science Dept., Glasgow Univ., 17 Lilybank Gardens, Glasgow G12 8QQ, SCOTLAND work 041 339 8855 x 6045; home 041 556 1878
