Information About

Watcom C Compiler




Though no longer supported by owner Sybase as a commercial product, Watcom's C/C++ tools, as well as the Watcom Fortran compiler, are available as the Open Source Open Watcom C/C++ and F77 packages, with the assistance of SciTech Software . The code is portable, and like many other open source compiler projects such as Gcc the compiler backend (code generator) is retargetable. The compiler can be operated from, and generate executable code for, the DOS, OS/2 & Windows operating systems. It also supports NLM targets for Novell NetWare . There is ongoing work to retarget it for the Linux and modern BSD (eg. FreeBSD ) operating systems, running on X86 , PowerPC and other processors. The Open Watcom C/C++ version 1.4 release from December 2005 has Linux x86 as an experimental target, supported from NT or OS/2 host platforms.
