C/C++ compiler

Post by aoss86dev »

Hello everyone!

I want to know if Turbo C/C++ 2.01 for DOS is a suitable compiler for developing my kernel.

P.S. Incase you couldn't tell by my name my OS is going to be called AOSS (which stands for Amateurs Operating System Software). And you'll never guess what platform i'm developing for :)

P.P.S. The whole day today I spent developing a boot strap (I know, i'm stupid for developing that instead of my kernel first) that is compatible with the FAT12 file system and loads a file called KERNEL.SYS off of the disk.

but (afaik) it is 16bit RMode only (no PMode -- which has many advantages)
