Retransmitted from ARPANET BY J Morrell 10/03/83: 
 
From: Martin Schoffstall  
Subject: Lattice C V1.04 and C-food 
 
I just got a copy of the "new" Lattice C compiler (v1.04), (was the 
article in Byte reviewing v1.24 a typo?).  Over all it looks much 
better than v1.01 with a real debugging switch and a disassembler to 
work with it.  C-food makes me want to cry!  All those .asm programs 
that I massaged to interface with Lattice ALL IN A LIBRARY.  (IBM why 
don't you supply us with a LIBRARIAN!!!)  C-food contains code to 
handle graphics, the asynch port(s), directories getting the time in a 
usable form etc. The only think still lacking is floating point, and a 
larger model for the compiler (>64K text would be great, but >64k of 
text and >64k of data would be worth sacrificing a bullock about, you 
can even make structures larger than 32K illegal) 
 
Those two I can wait for and I certainly am not flaming, however, I do 
have three flames so far, one for IBM, and the others for Lattice. 
 
1) the IBM linker (2.0) declares it can't find "bdos" in library lcx 
        when given in this order Libraries: [.LIB] lc lcx 
        but it can for Libraries: [.LIB] lcx lc 
        How can the linker be that stupid, (don't answer that)? 
2) the IBM linker declares that cscanf and something else are defined twice 
        when in your program you declare 
 
                #include  
                #include  
 
        but 
                #include  
                #include  
        is fine. 
        I understand why but it still is pretty foolish. 
 
3) C-food has very few examples, take handling the async port: 
        do you do 
                ainit(); 
                pcasm(); 
                  . 
                  . 
                aterm(); 
        or 
                pcasm(); 
                ainit(); 
                  . 
                  . 
                aterm(); 
        As it turns out the latter seems to work. 
 
The cost is very high, $500 list for the C compiler, and $150 list for 
C-food, of course you can get it for less.  If you are going to get 
the compiler I strongly suggest you get C-food, it will be very 
useful.  It doesn't irk me too badly since what I hate is paying a 
premium price for junk!
