ORCA/C 2.2.0 release

[Stephen Heumann]

Hi folks,

As announced at A24EVR, the final release of ORCA/C 2.2.0 is now
available. This is the culmination of the ORCA/C 2.2.0 beta series that
I have been working on over the last several years. Major changes since
ORCA/C 2.1.0 include:

* Added support for almost all language and library features required
by the C17 standard
* Improved lint checks and debugging features to help detect errors
* New options for pre-include files and C standard selection
* Improvements to generated code
* Auto-segmenting linker
* Hundreds of bug fixes
* And more

The full source code is on GitHub, and a binary update package is on
the releases page:

https://github.com/byteworksinc/ORCA-C/releases/tag/orcac-220

There is also a corresponding update to the GNO-specific version of
ORCALib, which you should get if you are using ORCA/C under GNO:

https://github.com/byteworksinc/ORCALib/releases/tag/gno-orcalib-220

If you do not have ORCA/C already, you will need to get it as part of
the Opus ][ collection sold by Juiced.GS. The current version of Opus
][ includes ORCA/C 2.1.0 (which can be upgraded to ORCA/C 2.2.0 with
the above package), but an updated version of Opus ][ that directly
incorporates ORCA/C 2.2.0 should be available in the near future.

Hi Stephen,

I'm using Orca C to write a desktop program.
Question: "strlen" seems compute the escape sequence '/n' in a string as 2 characters ? is it normal ?

thanks

Pierre

Perhaps you actually want '\n'? That is a single character (the line-feed).
'/n' is indeed two characters long.
