Portable C Compiler FundBSD Fund has partnered with software engineer and researcher Anders Magnusson to bring the Portable C Compiler "pcc" to 1.0 release status. Originally written by Stephen C. Johnson of Bell Labs in the 1970's, pcc is today valued by developers for its speed, simplicity, BSD license and of course, portability. Mr. Magnusson has worked with pcc since 2002 and been project maintainer since 2007. Success! $12,472 raised!On April 28th, an anonymous donor made a $1,000 donation to this project in honor of the OpenBSD Project, bringing us solidly past our fundraising target. Anders reports that he is making good progress and should have yet more code to test shortly. The latest commits can be seen online.
Our sincere thanks to everyone who participated in this effort and we look forward to the 1.0 release and continued improvement of pcc! Work descriptionImproved Static Single Assignment form conversion functionality
