Open Watcom C/C++ compiler

I wonder if anyone here has used the Open Watcom C/C++ compiler?
It was a popular commercial C++ compiler that ran on DOS/Windows in the 90s, and now has been made open source.

I recommend clicking the link that says history, it has an interesting story behind it. You can download and install it on windows and compile on the console with:
cl filename.c  or  cl  filename.cpp

Id like to see it get ported to Linux

Great! A free C/C++ compiler for Linux. How long did I have to wait for this.

NASM uses it for OS/2 builds. Sometimes it fails because of lacking or broken support for parts of C99, but that's easy to work around.

If it's C++, it's worse than crap.

Watcom was the best x86 compiler circa 1995. There's no reason for it to exist anymore.

I take it you would rather use GCC and MSVCC?

Watcom is quite decent, the only problem is its buggy and not up to the newest criteria.
But its a very decent peace of software that should not be let to waste.
Consider that saying software is decent is quite much in this world.

You don't know shit about programming. Now fuck off and die of AIDS.

I'd rather use Clang. Surprise, I am!

And yes, GCC and MSVC both surpassed Watcom during the decade between when it was EOL'd and the OpenWatcom project got their shit sorted out. I haven't followed the project for a very long time, but I would be very surprised if they managed to stay competitive. It's a niche compiler focused for outdated platforms.
