Thanks. Your implementation is rather similar to PellesC. Small, C99
optimistic, and Windows specific. As an aside, do you regret basing
your compiler on top of lcc, as opposed to writing it from scratch?

Well, there are a LOT of C99 that is implemented there. The VLA stuff,
complex numbers, etc etc!

It is quite advanced, even there are a few odd stuff that is missing.

and Windows specific.

I have linux and power pc versions.

Of course not. By buying the rights of the lcc source code I
have been able to use a software that is quite well conceived.
