marc.hull Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 A couple of general questions about C99.... The last compiled language I used circa 1986 was PASCAL and IIRC it shares some commonalities with "C" is this correct ? When compiling C99 does it create assembler source or does it create an executable ? If it also assembles is this object code stand alone or does it require some helper files ? What is the relative speed and code space of "C99" generated code versus assembler (all things being equal.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willsy Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 It creates assembler source that you then have to assemble with editor assembler. Speed seems quite good. It's quite hungry for memory though. The development cycle is torture, but not too bad if you have everything installed on a ram disk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'll stick with assembly for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
