Whitesmiths C compiler: One of the earliest commercial C compilers available

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-02-19 00:25:56

Whitesmiths, Ltd. C Compiler Background The original Whitesmiths compiler was released in 1978 and compiled a version of C similar to that accepted by Version 6 Unix. It was an entirely new implementation, borrowing no code from Unix. When Whitesmiths released version 3.0 of its C compiler in 1985 it supported the emerging ANSI C standard. The Whitesmiths compiler had code generators for DEC PDP-11, Intel 8080/Zilog Z80, Intel 8086, Motorola MC68000, DEC VAX-11, IBM System/370 and IBM System

This Action Camera Is Practically Free Compared to GoPro for Amazon Early Prime Day, Stock Is Limited

Whether you’ve got kids, pets, or just friends who are more than a little extroverted, it can be nice to have a really solid action camera. Not every camera can handle capturing action as it happens, let alone when things go underwater or especially quickly. That’s where a good action camera really shines, but they can also be really expensive. They don’t have to be though. See at Amazon Today, you can pick up the Akaso EK7000 Action Camera for just $53.

10 Years of Pomological Watercolors

10 years of pomological watercolors A decade ago today I published a blog post calling for the US government to release its paintings of fruits. The Pomological Watercolor Collection, as I had recently come to know, is a beautiful and remarkable corpus of over 7,000 pictures of fruits and other biological specimens, made between the 1880s and 1940s. Through a handful of FOIA requests I’d learned that the images had been meticulously digitized and put online for purchase, but that less than 100

PJ5 TTL CPU

Well, we did it… we cracked 4MIPS on our TTL CPU. I have to admit I’m both relieved and surprised. The key parts to achieving this was to decrease the latency for the instruction decode and also the flag register writing. The time to decode an instruction, perform a bit of math and then write to the flags was at around 270nS. With the changes we made, the instruction decode had a radical reworking and the flag writing had some big changes as well, means we go this down to under 200nS. Which m
