- I agree with you. Once you figure it out and learn where the holes are it
- is a nice compiler. It also produces really tight, fast code, and the
- executables are *very* small. It would go a long way to:
-
- 1. Get all of the ANSI manifest constants defined in the header files.
- 2. Implement all of the ANSI required functions in the library (strtol(),
- memmove(), etc.).
- 3. Allow initialization of data structures such as arrays and structures
- that are of the auto storage class, as ANSI requires.
-
- There are probably more things which can be done, but I am not willing to
- invest more time finding out what they are until the above is accomplished.
