Obscure C/C++ compilers

[elephant]

What strange, obscure or long obsolete C and C++ compilers did you use to write software?

Here are some examples that I professionally used at one point or another:

• Borland Turbo C
• Borland C++ Builder
• Desmet C (ran on IBM PC DOS 2 or 3.x)
• Digital C compiler - I was a beta tester for Digital's first in-house C compiler for the PDP-11; this version ran on RSX-11M+.
• Digital VAX-11 C
• TI TMS320/C30 C cross-compiler
• Paradigm C/C++ (Winter Edition) - for an embedded x86 point of sale application; required a USB dongle to work.
• Watcom C for PE and LE executables in DOS/Windows (this later evolved into OpenWatcom)
• Whitesmith's C (PDP-11)

It was a bit strange to see DEC introduce a new compiler for the PDP-11 since the whole product line was being replaced by Micro Vaxes.

I did not know P. J. Plauger was one of the founders of Whitesmiths.

Don't be afraid to post duplicates along with any insights and observations.

Hi-Tech C for cp/m. Was written by a small Australian company named Hi-Soft. It existed in the late 80s; I don't remember exactly which year I bought my copy. A little web search shows that it is now on Github, and seems to have become open source.
