Can you give me any advice regarding the compiler/development
environment we should we be using? We do host development under Solaris
and cross compile to a PowerPC embedded target running VxWorks.
Thanks for your help: hopefully you won't suggest the compiler we are
already using! It would also be useful if you could identify
compilers/environments which you know to be slow and/or buggy...
Cheers; Chris.
