Do bear in mind that much of the Windows specific stuff can already be found in
other freely available sources (by which I mean Watcom).
So it's mainly a matter of marrying the main LCC distribution with it.
I suspect that was initially the main route Jacob took to derive
LCC-Win[32/64]
from LCC since I see Watcom vestiges in the LCC-Win distribution.
Look, that is wrong. I did not use ANYTHING from Watcom since Watcom was released to the public domain in 2002 and I started to work in lcc-win
in 1995.
Watcom is mainly a 32 bit compiler. I did not know that they had a 64
bit one?
In Sourceforge the notice says:
Description
C/C++ compilers and tools to compile and build for targets
DOS 16/32-bit, RDOS, Windows 16/32-bit, OS/2 16/32 bit, Linux 32-bit
(x86), Netware
running on host OS DOS, Windows 16/32/64-bit, OS/2, Linux 32/64-bit
(x86/x64)
Targets are 32 bit ONLY.
Now, what you propose is feasible: take the lcc 32 bit distribution, use
the Watcom assembler and linker and IDE and whatever and make an hybrid
32 bit compiler.
But a 64 bit compiler with a 64 bit linker and a 64 bit debugger?
That is also feasible but then you have to port everything to 64 bit and
you have for several years of work.
Please write to me if you need the source code of lcc-win. But you will
have to pay for it because I worked hard to write that. I hope you see
that is fair.
