digitalmars

c and c++ compilers for win32, win16, dos32 and dos. claimed as fastest compile/link times and havingmany good features. digitalmars also introduced thed programming language to overcome some of the pitfalls in c/c++ as claimed.

“…the software industry has come a long way since the c language was invented. many new concepts were added to the language with c++, but backwards compatibility with c was maintained, including compatibility with nearly all the weaknesses of the original design. there have been many attempts to fix those weaknesses, but the compatibility issue frustrates it. meanwhile, both c and c++ undergo a constant accretion of new features. these new features must be carefully fitted into the existing structure without requiring rewriting old code. the end result is very complicated - the c standard is nearly 500 pages, and the c++ standard is about 750 pages! c++ is a difficult and costly language to implement, resulting in implementation variations that make it frustrating to write fully portable c++ code.

c++ programmers tend to program in particular islands of the language, i.e. getting very proficient using certain features while avoiding other feature sets. while the code is usually portable from compiler to compiler, it can be hard to port it from programmer to programmer. a great strength of c++ is that it can support many radically different styles of programming - but in long term use, the overlapping and contradictory styles are a hindrance.

c++ implements things like resizable arrays and string concatenation as part of the standard library, not as part of the core language. not being part of the core language has several suboptimal consequences.

can the power and capability of c++ be extracted, redesigned, and recast into a language that is simple, orthogonal, and practical? can it all be put into a package that is easy for compiler writers to correctly implement, and which enables compilers to efficiently generate aggressively optimized code?

modern compiler technology has progressed to the point where language features for the purpose of compensating for primitive compiler technology can be omitted. (an example of this would be the 'register' keyword in c; a more subtle example is the macro preprocessor in c.) we can rely on modern compiler optimization technology to not need language features necessary to get acceptable code quality out of primitive compilers…”

comeau c/c++

“…comeau c/c++ is a command line driven c and c++ compiler that generates platform specific and c compiler specific c as its object code (the generated c code won't work on another platform, as it is cpu, os and c compiler specific, and furthermore, it is not standalone). it then transparently invokes a particular c compiler that we've specifically ported it to (again, it won't work with one we haven't ported it to -- such porting must be done by comeau since particulars must be coded into the compiler and library itself). note closely that this is not preprocessing, but compiling. the comeau c/c++ front-end first does full "c-style" preprocessing (#include, #define, etc.), as usual. that results in a normal translation unit, upon which comeau c/c++ then does normal and full syntax, semantic and error checking. next, the input c++ program (or c program in c mode) is translated into a machine independent intermediate language (il), as is usually done by compilers. so, in effect, the original c++ (or c in c mode) source code is effectively gone at this point.

for its code generation phase, comeau c/c++ only considers this intermediate form (if). it then processes the if, and in that process the code generator produces platform specific c language source code from the if. note then that a c compiler is needed only for machine dependent native object code generation (as noted above, it must be a c compiler we've ported it to for a particular cpu and os). the c compiler provided by your unix manufacturer (or those we mention for non-unix ports) will work with the comeau c/c++ front-end on the respective platform you have purchased comeau c/c++ for, as only those have been tested and integrated together. a list of which c compilers are required is provided above. since the generated c code is at least cpu, os, and c compiler specific, using another c compiler requires a custom port from comeau…”

you can try the c/c++ online compiling using the comeau c++ 4.3.3.

distcc

a free distributed c/c++ compiler.

“…distcc is a program to distribute builds of c, c++, objective c or objective c++ code across several machines on a network. distcc should always generate the same results as a local build, is simple to install and use, and is usually much faster than a local compile.

distcc does not require all machines to share a filesystem, have synchronized clocks, or to have the same libraries or header files installed. they can even have different processors or operating systems, if cross-compilers are installed.

just wanted to drop you a line to say that we are now using distcc at work and it is excellent. we have a rack of opteron machines that we use for computational tasks and we are now using them as a compile farm to compile our ~1mloc c++ tree (which can take an hour on a single cpu to recompile if we change certain header files). we tried using sun's grid engine to do this (we already use it to schedule our computational jobs), but the combination of its polled operation and the overhead of nfs led to little improvement (and greatly stressed our network). with distcc compile times are way down and my productivity has greatly improved; the two best features for me are its low impact on the network and its simplicity. distcc is developed on gnu/linux, but has been reported to work on other systems including freebsd, netbsd, darwin, solaris, hp-ux, irix, cygwin and bsd/os…”

mingw

“…mingw ("minimalistic gnu for windows") refers to a set of runtime headers, used in building a compiler system based on the gnu gcc and binutils projects. it compiles and links code to be run on win32 platforms... providing c, c++ and fortran compilers plus other related tools. if you see references to "mingw32" instead of "mingw", they are referring to the same compiler system. the project's name changed from mingw32 to mingw is to prevent the implication that mingw will only works on 32 bit systems (as 64 and higher bit machines become more common, mingw will evolve to work with them). mingw uses the microsoft runtime libraries, distributed with the windows operating system. unlike other ports of gcc to windows, the runtime libraries are not distributed using gnu's general public license (gpl). you, therefore, do not have to distribute your source code with your programs unless, of course, you use a gpl library in your programs…”
