I am looking for a C compiler that will run under 4.2BSD
on VAX and Sun, and under Xenix on a 286/310 (this last is least
important) producing code for both 8086 and 80286 target
machines, which run a custom operating system. Since I will be
writing system software with this, I would like the ability
to imbed assembly code. This should preferably produce Intel-format
source and object code, and be mated with a reasonable assembler
and linker. Since I will also be writing applications with this,
I would also like a fairly normal Unix-like C library. It would
also be very helpful if it used Unix format libraries.
I talked to OASYS, who markets a Wizard C Compiler which
sounds like what I want, but it's fairly expensive, especially
considering that it's per-cpu priced, and we have quite a few cpus.
Has anyone out there had experience with the Wizard C Compiler?
If you have a different system to recommend, please let me know.
Please reply to me, and I will summarize to the net if enough
others are interested. Also, any comments from people who have
written operating systems for the 286 in C would be appreciated.
