30. October 1996 StormC Supports Phase 5 PPC Accelerator Boards A powerful development environment is a prerequisite for software development. For this reason HAAGE & PARTNER have been working on a PPC-Amiga extension to the StormC compiler since the spring of '96. With the introduction of PHASE 5's PPC accelerator boards the StormC development system will also be available for this high-performance CPU. The new code generator supports all RISC programming techniques such as automatic and intensive use of register variables, a code scheduler (instructions in the generated machine code are automatically interchanged where necessary to achieve an optimal use of CPU resources), and peephole optimizations. Naturally the existing universal optimizations such as dead-code elimination are performed as well. At this time HAAGE & PARTNER are working at top speed with the first PPC developer boards from PHASE 5 to ensure good PPC code quality. The StormC linker for the PPC is available at the same time as the compiler. It allows programs to be linked as usual and even to mix Motorola 68k code with PPC code, thus greatly simplifying calls to PPC program functions and the exchange of data. The Storm-debugger for the PPC will also be completed shortly. HAAGE & PARTNER will be the first to offer an integrated development for PPC-accelerated Amigas. HAAGE & PARTNER will first present the new compiler to the public at the COMPUTER 96 show in Cologne. We will be pleased to demonstrate to you the power of the StormC development environment.
