Pick and choose. Why not C? Although the code generated by the PDP-11 C
isn't the best I've seen.
*Which* PDP-11 C?
I was explicitly thinking of the DEC PDP-11 C compiler here. DECUS C
actually generates better code than PDP-11 C, but DECUS C is a rather
weird K&R, while PDP-11 C is pretty much full ANSI.
What about UNIX C? Though, that's also K&R.
I haven't looked at the quality of its code generation. But that is an
interesting question. When I have some time...
