Good C++ or C Compilers?

  I am looking for a good C++ or C compiler for transputers. I would
prefer one that uses extensions to the language to provide parallel
constructs rather than using a series of function calls. I am particularly interested in source-available free/public-domain/copylefted things like G++/gcc. Anyone porting gcc to the transputer? Thanks.

The PACT Parallel C compiler is an ANSI conforming C compiler for all
32-bits transputers, with language extensions for parallel processing.

The extensions include a par construct to start parallel threads, a
channel type for interthread communication, and an alt construct to
select between multiple channels and timeouts.

Both performance and ANSI conformance are very good.  It's very stable.

Please send me email with your surface address and I'll send you some
more info.
