Probably SASC if you want to use it on an Amiga with 68030/68040. Last time I checked (years ago) VBCC was too slow, and GCC is slow even under WinUae. SASC is very usable for Amiga software. Not too slow, and produces reasonable code from what I've read.

My favorite was dice C
a review there:http://www.binarydevotion.com/?p=76

mainly because it's soooo easy o get in touch with it!
it need a real editor, I got to use AZ, then AZur for this task (and later Golded a peace of software almost as complex as lotusnotes Domino is!!).

Anyway, this is an ooOld compiler, if I do remember well, that was also the cheaper.

The author offered the compiler (maybe source code also? EDIT: there: http://legacy.obviously.com/dice/) for some time, but I think the mebsite disapeared in limbs.

Lucjkily HiSoft C++ supports 68060. and i dont need powerPC support. i dont have hardware for it. actually is sad reaction coding style is changed for amigaos4.1 if i understanded correctly. i cannot start make main stuff for my program under OS3.9.

I wonder if SAS Institue is willing to sell the source code to the community, or maybe give it away...

I've been trying to get vbcc so it doesn't generate any trapped/emulated instructions and most of the time there are none including floating point. Vbcc would be difficult to beat for 68k floating-point as it has pretty good vclib code and it supports many of the common C99 math functions. The new 68k C99 math libraries and more info on them is here:

http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=74692

The best thing Hyperion could do to help proliferate Reaction is to release an updated 68k version with all the AmigaOS 4.x functionality and features. MUI is winning the battle of the GUIs now that they are releasing 68k versions again. I believe the 68k will become more important as thousands of 68k fpga Amiga users change the future.

SAS/C is still used for some big computer customers. The Amiga was not big enough and was dying. There were some great Amiga fans at SAS/C who went above and beyond to provide professional service and support to the small Amiga market. I recall there being attempts by Amigans to open source or buy but the word came down from SAS/C management that there were too many copyrights in the code they were using.

The only main 'gripe' I had with VBCC was its lack of support for the '__FUNC__' (iirc) preprocessor keyword. This may be a GCC specific one, but nonetheless I found it extremely handy. Often compiled my projects with both GCC and VBCC to squeeze the last sore points out of a source.


The new version of vbcc has been released and it supports C99 __func__. The changelog and new version of vbcc can be found here:

@kamelit0

During my classic days, I spent a lot of time using the Lattice/SAS editor when coding.
After moving on to OS4, I found the se editor still worked (mostly) but had a few little
problems that had crept in.

I wrote a nice letter to SAS asking if they might release the code to just the se editor so that it could be updated and offered to the community. I got a very polite letter back explaining that it was not possible.

Very nice folks, but if they would not release the source to their editor, the chance of releasing a much larger portion of their Amiga product is very unlikely.

It's a shame too, the SAS/C environment was really comfortable to work in. I have even duplicated some of the features that I remember: I have set up a "New_Project" directory that has a skeleton project including code that is common to most of my projects, all pre-arranged and ready to go.
I have also played with methods to print all GCC error or warning output in red instead of black, and have even set up the means to click on any error to open the editor and jump to the offending line.

What I have is terribly crude compared to a proper IDE like CodeBench, but it's all just different ways to build projects.
