gcc v6.2 - Beyond Brown December 27th, 2016
GGN and DML have been busy to port the rather fresh GCC 6.2 to build Atari compatible programs.

Some benefits listed on their site compared to the older v4.6.4:

  • link-time whole-program optimisation (inter-module calls & inlining): can have a big impact in reducing the executable’s size.
  • improved optimiser
  • C++14, C++17 support
  • named section support via C and asm
  • proper C++ initialise/finalise sequence
  • GST extended symbols
  • can preview code generation in Godbolt/68k
  • path open for future gcc releases

It's a disassembly of the 68040 Macintosh version adapted to the Falcon with 060 processors, all with permission from Team 17 themselves.

Along with the Worms port is a nice 060 intro by Insane and Lotek Style.

Keep in mind you still need the original data files which are not included in the .tSCc. archive.
