> Better than watcom? How much better and in which areas? In Open Watcom just the 32bit C(++) compiler and WD are pretty good. The rest is of "mixed" quality.
With optimisation on MSVC CL.EXE beats OW WCC.EXE significantly both in speed and binary size (not counting the CRT part). One reason for this might be: although the OW 16-bit compiler WCC has switches to optimize for 386/486/Pentium/PPro it doesn't seem to use the 32-bit registers if one of these switches is set. The one 32bit opcode I was able to find is the "PUSH dword ptr [x]" to push an (unsigned) long parameter for a function call. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
