StormC 4 in Betatest
According to Steffen Haeuser, the next version of StormC dubbed "StormC 4", not to be
confused with StormC V4, is in beta testing phase. This update will offer the following
new features:
- Aside from the traditional StormC Code Generator now also gcc can be used as Code Generator.
gcc will replace the old Code Generator for all future versions.
Though it is internally gcc, you can use project files and all that like usual.
- For PPC a new port of gcc for WarpOS is used. This is the first gcc-WarpUP which actually
runs fully in PowerOpen, and does not switch "on-the-fly" between PowerOpen and System V.
- StormC 4 runs on 68k and PPC machines, and produces output for 68k and for WarpUP machines.
- The "StormC-gcc" can link together with Linkerlibs and object files from the "old" StormC
and it directly produces Amiga Executables (no elf2exe2 needed anymore !!!).
- It supports all features of StormC which gcc did not support up to now (including MixedBinary
and easy creation of Shared Libraries)
- It is possible to compile through the network, so that with 4 Amigas, compilation is 4x faster.
(Currently only Envoy-Network, but TCP/IP planned)
- CVS Support integrated
- Major enhancements in the editor and the help-system
- A tool to keep track of open bugs/todo-stuff was added
- First gcc-implementation which simply installs using an Installer-Script :)
