Description
V2 fork of the Open Watcom suite of compilers and tools
Long description
A fork of Open Watcom: A C/C++/Fortran compiler and assembler suite targeting a multitude of architectures (x86, IA-32, Alpha AXP, MIPS, PowerPC) and operating systems (DOS, OS/2, Windows, Linux). Main differences from Open Watcom 1.9: - New two-phase build system - Open Watcom can be built by the host's native C/C++ compiler or by itself - Code generator properly initializes pointers by DLL symbol addresses - DOS tools now support long file names (LFN) if appropriate LFN driver is loaded by DOS - Open Watcom is ported to 64-bit hosts (Win64, Linux x64) - Librarian supports x64 CPU object modules and libraries - RDOS 32-bit C run-time compact memory model libraries are fixed - Resource compiler and Resource editors support Win64 executables - Open Watcom text editor is now self-contained, it can be used as standalone tool without any requirements for any additional files or configuration - Broken C++ compiler pre-compiled header template support is fixed - Many C++ compiler crashes are fixed - Debugger has no length limit for any used environment variable The documentation has been excluded from this build for build time reasons.
