Hi.


Can I get recommendations for other (free) C compilers besides GCC and CLANG?
I've been using the revived PCC for gawk development since it's faster
than GCC, but recently it's developed a bug where it won't compile the
current (valid) code.


LCC seems to be 32 bit only and requires very manual configuration.


TinyCC is blindingly fast, and can compile gawk, but is broken in that
it won't diagnose duplicate case statements inside switch. The developers
don't consider this a problem. So I refuse to use it.


In short, I'm looking for a faster compiler that actually works.


Thanks,


Arnold
