Microsoft Releases Enhanced Compiler

  Last week, Microsoft Corp. released a new version of its C compiler.
Version 4.0 features improved optimization and a debugger that, to the
user, looks like the company's Windows program. With this version,
Microsoft increases the compilers execution speed by eliminating
common subexpressions. The compiler's code emitter has also been
improved. Codeview, the programm's source-level debugger, allows users
to watch as source or object code is debugged by opening windows as
needed. A spokesman for the company points out that with Codeview,
"the programmer can also see the contents of registers and flags in
the CPU and watch the values of expressions and variables as they
change." The program has a suggested retail price of $450. Registered
owners of the previous version of the C compiler can recieve the new
version for $150.
