Perhaps originally.... But when the FastPath code arrived at Shiva it was using the SunOS 4 native compiler on Sun3. I moved it to gcc on Sun4.

It became "Code Center" by Centerline. Steve Kauffer kept it going while working on startups (TripAdvisor being the successful one). It ended up at ICS.COM: https://motif.ics.com/products/codecenter ISTR some product of that ilk that read and patched object code and only worked on RISC platforms... > I think gcc was the standard for 68k from 1987 on. Yes, greenhills, but > it's not clear it produced better code and it was really expensive. I never dealt with that many 68K compilers. I remember a whole slew of problematic compilers and debuggers on 32x32 (Encore) and ROMP (IBM PC/RT). At least of them couldn't handle cfront output and/or "Duff's Device" phil
