Re: A86: What C-compilers have we got? [82/83/83+/85/86]
does anyone really program in c for the 86?
i'd think the 9k limit on regular asm progs & the oddness of structure
required for larger programs would make a c compiler kind of
inappropriate.
some standard c library functions (malloc for one) don't work very well
on z80 calcs (68k's must have different memory organization)
the functions that do work tend to be provided in rom, but aren't in
exactly the same place for all calcs, or (on less fortunate calcs) for
all rom versions
