- Compiler
- .short
- New compiler for use with all Amigas
- .description
- This is a freely distributable demonstration version of a (PIM4) Modula-2
- development system. Amiga Turbo Modula-2 consists of:
-
- A compiler(M2C), a link utility(M2L), an error lister(M2E),
- and a program builder(M2B).
- Interface modules for V40 of the AmigaOS & corresponding linker library,
- ANSI C standard library definitions as well as those from PIM.
-
- The compiler reads source code in a single pass which means fast
- compilation. Internally however it performs several passes over each
- procedures statement sequence in order to generate fast and compact code.
- Typically, generated code is 25% smaller & 75% faster than the ($200)
- commercial Amiga Modula-2 compiler used for the initial bootstraps.
- Amiga Turbo Modula-2 is a new compiler developed for use with all Amigas.
- Its most notable features are:
-
- o Interface modules for V40 of the Amiga operating system.
-
- o Sun Modula-2 like DEFINITION FOR C MODULE's allow access to
- ANSI C standard library functions.
-
- o Fast single pass compilation with extremely accurate error diagnostics.
-
- o High quality code generation.
- Code is typically 75% faster than code generated by the (ETH derived)
- commercial compiler used for the initial bootstrap, the drystone
- benchmark runs over twice as fast.
-
- o Residentable code support (64K global variable limit).
-
- o Includes a system builder (no messing about with makefiles).
-
- o Low shareware fee, 25 pounds sterling or 40 US dollars.

- .restrictions
- In order to encourage you to purchase the full version of Turbo M2 the
- compiler will refuse to compile modules (not programs) that translate to
- more than 2K of machine code (that's about 250 lines of code) and contain
- more than 4K of global variables. Only a small selection of library modules
