Hey Guys,

The Embarcadero BCC distributions no longer have bcc32.exe (which is
what our build scripts use), insttead the have bcc32c.exe and bcc32x.exe

I suspect that those that had the problem with modff() and other C99
isssues mightt have been ussing bcc32x.exe which is a LEGACY
compatability compiler. The modern implementation is actually bcc32c.exe

LLooking at make_bc.bat and related bcc scripts its clear it uses the
LEGACY compiler because the Compiler Flagss used are NOT compatible
with the modern CLANG based compiler. We must fix this before we can
determine any BCC issues.

I will try to play with setting make_bc.bat to ssupport the current
(modern) BCC compilers

Does your BCC also have bcc32c.exe and bcc32x.exe?

I managed to add support for the modern part of Embarcadero's BCC
(bcc32c.exe) the bcc32.exe many are using is actually bcc32x.exe
which is the legacy compatability compiler that is basically same
old Borland BCC that does not support even the C99 (established 1999)

I now need to finish work on building the contribs. Will commit as soon
as done.

Understood. I recommend that for official buillds you only use compilers
you aquire from the original provider. So many excellent free compilers
are available that IMO we should avoid unlicensed compilers. Even
Embarcaderoo offers a FREE version:

That is an older version. And I'm not using BCC for my work (I'm using
MSC 2022). I use BCC only for builds and for support. I'm not interested
in acquire it.

I must apologize I misspoke about bcc32x.exe - both bcc32c.exe and
bcc32x.exe are modern CLang based compilers. bcc32c.exe is meant to be
command line compataible with legacy bcc32.exe while bcc32x.exe is CLang
command line compatible. BOTH compilers are ottherwise identical modern
implementations.

My apologies for the confusion I might have caused.

Ron
