- - Not that fast to compile (but generates fast code)
-

-
- This isn't exactly true. You need 2.5 meg to work, and you'll always
- have to keep separate modules small, but 4 meg will let you do anything
- at all.

-
- In fact, 1.4 works quite comfortably with 2.5 meg.
-
- >The compiler (gcc) will compile both C, and C++ code (ver. 2.1 - 1.4

-
- - Also supports Object C
- (not that I've used Object C)
-
-
-
- Now the info on C++ ...
-
- C++, being based on C, interfaces with all C code - which includes the
- operating system of the Atari.
-
- Packages available:
-
- GNU C++ (g++)
-
- Comes as part of the GNU C compiler.
-
-
- Cormeau C++
-
- No idea, but it is available.
