The run operation within the integrated environment will recompile all necessary files, generate the executable code and run the program, then return back to the user interface. Special extensions for the Personal include the six memory models and extensions for mixed-language, mixed-model programming.
#TURBO BORLAND C FULL#
Turbo C implements the forthcoming ANSI C standard as far as it is defined, and delivers full support of Kernighan and Ritchie C. The Scotts Valley, California company claims that compiler optimisations include automatic register assignment and common sub-expression elimination. A range of compiler options are provided including inline assembler multiple optimisation levels generation of 80186/80286/8087 instructions warning suppression and multiple memory models. Turbo C features a built-in LINT for error checking for development and debugging, with support of ANSI prototypes. The Turbo linker is compatible with the PC-DOS linker and links approximately two to 10 times faster than the PC-DOS one, while it is about one-fifth the size. Near pointers and far pointers are used as well as a fast linker like that implemented in Turbo Prolog. It compiles to memory at fast raw compile times exceeding 7,000 lines per minute on a 6MHz IBM AT and it supports six memory models: tiny, small, compact, medium, large, huge. In contrast, most C compilers are four- or five-pass compilers that compile using temporary files on disk. The compiler has a built-in Turbo Linker, also provided as a stand-alone program for use in the command line mode, and is a single-pass compiler that generates intermediate data structures in memory.
In benchmark tests, Borland claims that Turbo C generates the fastest, smallest object code of any C compiler. Turbo C provides a one-pass compiler, control of memory models and code optimisations. It claims that its high-speed Turbo C is the only optimising C compiler for microcomputers that provides end users with a choice of using either the integrated environment complete with built-in editor, compiler and linker or a conventional-style command line interface. The product is regrettably yet another piece of Borland vapourware with no firm delivery date yet set, but Borland International Inc reckons that its new Turbo C will be worth the wait (CI No 607).
