- I sure hope so! I think it may divert people's efforts if two compilers
- need to be supported.
-
- So far I think EMX is more stable and faster (libraries). But GCC has better
- OS/2 support: system calls, object files etc.
-
- I have heard these areas need work:
- A multi-thread compatible library
- more native OS/2 support
- A DLL for all of the C/C++ libraries (so calling printf doesn't link
- in 30kb of code, where a simple DLL call would reduce code size)
- etc.
- More UNIX features, to make up for OS/2 deficiencies
- anything else?
-
- I think people are working on all this. My guess is EMX will borrow
- stuff from GCC, and EMX will be the "official" GNU CC for OS/2.
