Borland compilers are usually quite good (I worked many years with Borland
products). OTOH, while the old C compilers were very good, I had some
problems once using a previous version of C++ Builder (version 2 or 3, I
am not sure anymore).
However, those could be instabilities caused by new extensions that Borland
added to the language and this is already the version 5 compiler. Borland
does not let bugs stay in their products forever (at least not as much as
M$ does).
Notice that this compiler:
- is FREE;
- is able to compile MFC, ANSI C++, ANSI C and other flavours (I once used
C++ Builder to develop stuff that I later compiled in Linux);
- Turbo Debugger, an excellent debugger that can be used with it, is
available for free too.
So, it has very nice characteristics to become a good compiler for Apache C
code. Maybe for the Apache server too.
Well, I guess the better that I can do is download it, try it on Apache
stuff and then come back with the results. If some one should do it, might
as well be me.
Have fun,
