Subject:       Where can I get djgpp?

Precedence: bulk

  Please how can I get the latest fully tested version of djgpp?
  On ftp.delorie.com all that I found of it was `alpha' and `beta', which seem
to be versions still under development.
  The only information where to get the tested version of djgpp says "by FTP
from Simtelnet". But recently Simtelnet seems to have gone down the swanny,
and is no longer being updated, although many places hold old copies of it.
E.g. in the djgpp matter on the main mirror site of Simtelnet in England, the
latest files are dated Jan 1997.
ried deep in the GCC docs
and the machine description header in GCC sources.  See
config/i386/i386.h (search for `k') in the GCC source distribution,
and the node "Machine Modes" in gcc.info.

Also, my message was somewhat misleading, since I called the b and
k letters in the %b1 and (%k2) arguments ``constraints''.  This is
inaccurate: these aren't constraints in the usual extended asm sense.
They just tell GCC in which ``mode'' to interpret the arguments, even
if the actual argument is different.  `b' means byte (``QImode'' in
the GCC parlance), `w' means word (``HImode'') and `k' means a 32-bit
int (``SImode'').
