Love Pelles C

[CandCPlusPlus]

I remember seeing a passing reference to Pelles C somewhere on the interwebs but I did not research more into it. I'm glad I finally did. I'm impressed with the IDE and compiler. It's very visual studio like but much more lightweight. I like certain aspects of the design more than Visual Studio Code and Visual Studio itself. I like how it just includes everything needed to compile C code and make Windows applications while also being lightweight. I am surprised by how little attention Pelles C gets.

I have a bunch feature suggestions and requests coming though. Be ready. lol

I will say that I'd love to see a separate Pelles C++ and Pelles C# as well. I only say that here instead of in the feature requests because it's unrealistic and it would likely be a huge undertaking for the author.  I can dream though.

Hello, welcome 
Happy to hear that you too like this small masterpiece.
Unfortunately I guess that your dreams will remain such... 
Pelle is very focused on keeping his compiler strictly compliant with the 'C' standards, very efficient and well optimized.
The IDE evidently resembles the VS IDE, but is much more simple and easy to use.
Enjoy

Giving it more thought, I'd actually prefer a Pelles C# over a Pelles C++. lol

I have a whole bunch of suggestions. I'm debating whether to start a separate thread for each feature request or suggestion or whether to put it all into one thread.

C# translator/compiler csc.exe comes with Windows OS.

Of all the compilers in my toolbox (Pelles C, MS Visual Studio, Embarcadero C++, Mingw, Clang, Open Watcom, and Lcc-Win32), Pelles absolutely gets the most usage. Pelle's resource editor, C compiler, and linker are rock solid and easy to use. 

Pelles C++ and Pelles C# will never happen, partly because there are many more free compiler alternatives than were available when Pelle's C was first released 18 years ago.  There are a few of us old timers on this forum who have been using Pelles' tools ever since then.  You won't be disappointed using Pelles C.

I'm actually rather curious about whether there was any releases before Pelles C 2.50. It'd be interesting if the Pelles C download page had an archive of all the past releases going from 10.0 and all the back to 1.0, if such a release existed.

I finally posted the suggestions. I will admit that I was a little afraid to post it, especially being new to Pelles C but in reality, the "worst" that could happen is that Pelle or whomever replies that none of it is viable to implement.

Is there a way to adjust your time zone in your settings on this forum? It's definitely out of sync with where I live.

Pelles C 2.50 was announced in comp.compilers.lcc, but access is limited now.
I think it was first public one.

I can't find orginal installation files, as backups was saved in floppies

That's interesting to see. Pelles C has been in existence since 2003.
