It includes MicroEmacs, a public domain text editor, complete with source, that works the same under DOS, DOS32, Win32 and even Linux.

   ftp://www.digitalmars.com/me.zip

There is a basic problem: (Was with 8.23 also). The following program compiles and runs without any errors:

/*******************************************************
 Test.cpp : Test program.
********************************************************/

int function1(){
 }
bool function2(){
 }
char *function3(){
 }


int main(int argc,char *argv[]){
//    return 0;
    }
---------------
Where none of the functions return anything!!

What I get is:

C>sc test -cpp
 }
 ^
test.c(2) : Warning 18: implied return of function1 at closing '}' does not
return value
 }
 ^
test.c(4) : Warning 18: implied return of function2 at closing '}' does not
return value
 }
 ^
test.c(6) : Warning 18: implied return of function3 at closing '}' does not

    }
    ^
test.c(11) : Warning 18: implied return of main at closing '}' does not
return value
link test,,,user32+kernel32/noi;
-----------------------------------
Perhaps you are compiling with -w (turn off warnings)?

Sure, my CFLAGS had -w. When I tried
sc -w- test.cpp
I got the warnings as indicated by you. But frankly, these all should be
errors, not warnings, anyway?

You're right, they should, according to the standard.  But most compilers issue warnings, not errors (including gcc-2.95.3, and Borland C++ 5.5.1 free, two of the most ISO C++ compliant compilers).  I tested with ANSI enforcing option on all three (the two above and DigitalMars C++ 8.25), but all I got was warnings...

Maybe the idea that old C++ code doesn't stop compiling, but this shouln't happen in ANSI mode, IMHO.

Walter,

Good work and thanks for the 16-bit bug fixes.

A suggestion, could you indicate in your announcements what portion of the DM toolset is affected by a new release.  I'm not always clear whether the version number applies to the whole toolset as a group, or just the compiler, or just the compiler and linker.

Maybe the best thing would be a list of files (*.exe, *.dll, *.c, *.h, ...) that are affected by a new release.  The "What's New in Version X.Y.Z" page is close, but it doesn't enumerate the files or indicate which download package is indicated for users trying to keep up with your latest official releases.

These are very minor critiques.  You are doing great work and I thank you.  It's so great that you should develop a legal will for rights to the DM source code should you ever perish before it goes open source.

Kind regards,

Mark
