Mostly 3, with an hint of 1.

<&McMartin>
It depends on whether the standard is in fact bad :D
02:16
<&McMartin>
But AFAIK cryptographic salt has stood up to the parameters that were demanded of it, in this case.

Just don't, you know, trust it further than what it purports to give you

For people who need more TIS-100 but thought it needed to be more like the Itanic
21:36
<~Vornicus>
I like how it's called a Zachlike
21:37
<&McMartin>
That's the name of the genre~
23:00
<&[R]>
I like how they named something that would fail and sink just one letter less than the Titanic
23:00
<&[R]>
Or wait they didn't
23:00
<&[R]>
I derped, nm
23:01
<&McMartin>
Yes, the real name is Itanium, and Itanic was the name everyone gave it when it was a nonstarter
23:01
<&[R]>
Oh BTW, what compiler would you suggest if one wanted to compile some small C program for use inside of DOSBox?
23:02
<&McMartin>
How small are we talking, and is it being written specifically for DOS in the first place?
23:02
<&McMartin>
For a serious modern C program that makes use of protected mode etc etc I think your best shot is OpenWatcom
23:03
<&[R]>
Like 100 LoC at absolute maximum and it's just going to help me move around inside DOSBox, no intention to release it or anything
23:03
<&McMartin>
For that I would recommend Turbo C, which I think is still officially distributed for free by Borland's successors in interest. One moment while I check.
23:03
<&McMartin>
Just remember that Far Pointers Actually Matter :)

Tubro C 2.01
23:05
<&McMartin>
Does not have inline asm support, but it sounds like you don't need it
23:05
<&McMartin>
If you need it later, NASM can produce object files that are link-compatible.
23:06
<&[R]>
Is that newer than Turbo C++ 4.0?
23:06
<&[R]>
Because I have a box of that
23:06
<&McMartin>
No, it's older.
23:06
<&McMartin>
I suspect Turbo C++ 4.0 will run great in Dosbox, though.
23:06
<~Vornicus>
open wat com
23:06
<&McMartin>
But if it doesn't, I've personally run that version up there and know it works.
23:06
<&[R]>
Fair enough
23:07
<&McMartin>
Turbo C++ also will have <conio.h> and a number of things that aren't standard but will make you program nicer to use.
23:07
<&[R]>
Is there an option to compile from Linux to produce a DOS executable? I'm likely to code from vim and all that anyways
23:08
<&McMartin>
oof.
23:08
<&McMartin>
I bet openwatcom can do it, but I've never used it.
23:08
<&McMartin>
What I did when I was messing with this was to work in a directory that Dosbox had mounted.
23:09
<&McMartin>
And then use Dosbox's RESCAN command to sync directory contents so it would see when Vim or Emacs changed anything.
23:10
<&[R]>
Ahhh
23:10
<&[R]>
I was wondering how to resync without rebooting DOSBox
23:10
<&McMartin>
I may have the exact spelling wrong, but it's definitely in the HELP page.
23:11
<&McMartin>
It's RESCAN, and it's not on the HELP page, it's a pretend file in Z:\
23:12
<&McMartin>
Watcom had their own DOS extender (the famous DOS/4GW) and OpenWatcom uses that, IIRC.
23:12
<&McMartin>
If you want to mess with custom memory management I *think* Borland remains your best bet
