Has any one had trouble with Borland C++.

DOS programs hang om entry to or exit from certain functions, somtimes with a stack overflow message (presumably because the stack is no being managed
properley)


When stepping through a program with the integrated debugger the ide hangs.


The watch window states that variables are undefined (when they clearly are) or are optimized out (when the current statement being executed contains the
variable) despite the fact I have all optimizations turned off.


The integreated debugger skips lines of code despite all optimizations are off.



On the whole I have found Borland C++ compilers to be among the most unreliable and unpredictable products on the market. Has any one else encountered the
same problems and how does djgpp compare to them?
