I welcome any comments or corrections you might have.
In addition, there is a section for the "makers comments" (I can't say "vendor" because some compilers are free :).
If you wish for me to add your commentary for this section, please send it to me.
Just to minor comments:
: GPC, the freeware Pascal compiler based on GCC.
I don't like the term "freeware" because it's often used to refer to software that must be distributed for free (in the monetary sense), but without any freedoms of modification etc., often even without source provided, i.e. just the opposite of GPC. I'd prefer the term "free software" (or "open source" if you must).
: GCC obeys ISO 7185,
In this context "GPC" might be clearer than "GCC".
Frank
Made changes listed above.
I can't interest you in supplying any comments for the "originator comments" field in the "Verified compilers" section ? It was intended that you would have the opportunity to rebut anything I said, explain problems, or add other comments.
