Open Watcom "Next Generation" (Announce)

posted by tkchia , 20.03.2025, 15:48

Hello Japheth,

Thanks, interesting news. Some quick thoughts:

(1) I sure hope the openwatcom.org compiler lineage is solidly tested (for code generation bugs). I am hearing some less than pleasant things about Jiri Malak's wcc fork in this area (https://www.os2museum.com/wp/tracking-down-a-bug/)...

(2) The licensing terms are the same as before ("Source code is available under the Sybase Open Watcom Public License").
