I was wondering if someone could answer this.  Is there a way generate
free-standing code (no exception handling, no run time type information, no
dynamic memory allocation[new, delete], and no use of the standard library) with
the Digital Mars compiler?
The reason I ask is that I am creating a little pet OS project and the kernal I
am making won't have run-time support for those.  Thanks.

Sure. The complete library source comes with the DMC++ CD, and you can stub and modify to suit.

I only have the DMC++ version that is available on the website.

I found some of the info I was looking for by nosing through the DM website.

It looks like run time type information and exception handling are disabled by default.

Will the DM compiler put support for dynamic memory allocation and the standard library in the code if I don't use it in the source?

To get the full library source, you'll need the DMC++ CD from www.digitalmars.com/shop.html.

Yes.

Of course, if you call to 'new' in your code, the compiler must insert a call to something that allocates memory. If you don't, it won't.
