Downloads:

Changes (from RELNOTES.DOC, excluding irrelevant ocide-only stuff):

version 5.20.1:
general: use fflush() liberally throughout to speed disk access
general: fix sources to compile with OPENWATCOM & MINGW compilers
general: switch to #include <sstream> instead of #include <strstream> when
possible (e.g. except when utilizing OPENWATCOM)
occ: defining the same typedef inside of multiple functions resulted in
an error
occ: rewrite inlining code to make it work better
occ: basic support for C++ (no debugging, may have some bugs)
occ: fix problem where using debug information while specifying multiple
files on the command line would crash the compiler
occ: fix problem where browse information would take exponential time due
to excess list traversal
occ: "array[*index++] ++;" would increment 'index' twice.
occ: don't expand inline functions when generating debug code
occ: typing "int a int b;" at the beginning of a function body
wouldn't result in an error in C99/C11/C++ mode
occ: conversion of integers to pointers and vice versa in a function argument
was allowed with a warning. Now it is an error.
occ: add make dependency generation similar to gnu C
