Many thanks for the info.

Its a new version:
Embarcadero C++ 7.20 for Win32 Copyright (c) 2012-2016 Embarcadero Technologies, Inc.

If you all agree, I believe we should use it from now on

We will publish FWH 16.06 first

then we will migrate to BCC 7.20

I just read the specs on this product, it looks to me that the free version is 32 bit only.

Robb,

Yes, it seems so

Hi friends,

It is not so easy, this compiler is very diferente from old bcc's and compile harbour require some deeper changes in core code.

I'm moving to mingw, harbour is working perfect with it and mingw is free / open source / well maintained.

Regards,

Toninho.

Good luck to you !

I'm using BCC 7.20 and found no difference with older versions.

Hi

I'm using BCC72-32bit from xHarbour whoxxx.com site work fine.

Now exists two 32-Bit-Compilers:
1. The bcc32 as in earlier versions
2. The BCC32c is a clang-based compiler (also the 64-Bit-Compiler). For this compiler all the libs from Harbour and FW must recompiled.

This is the problem: bcc32 is ended, and only clang-based is available.

I'm testing gcc by now and fwh is working fine with it.

I'm trying the new CLANG based BCC 7.2. First problem: it seems not complete. As an example, the command

bcc32c -h -O reports, among the other options:

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

-OS     Enable Pentium instruction scheduling

But using it I get

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

Warning: option '-OS' is not supported in Clang-based compiler.

So at least the docs is not updated. Is there an updated command line docs somewhere?

Anyway, I made some very early tests and at least it seems faster in compiling than the old 7.2.

Another problem. In some include files there is

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

#include <xtgmath.h>

but xtgmath.h is missing.

For me this compiler is not yet usable.

Enrico , xtgmath.h file in C:\BCC101\include\dinkumware64

the command line that appears here works well for me :
