Possibility to support another compiler (Pelles C)

Hello,

Do you think it would be possible for Code::Blocks to support another compiler: Pelles C
You can find it here: http://smorgasbordet.com/pellesc/

It only supports C file (not C++) but it is very very good.
I encourage you to visit its web site in order to see the capabilities of that compiler.
It create fast and small executable.
It can compile ASM file.

Some people will say: "yes, it is cool but it already have a IDE. Why do you want to add it into Code::Blocks?"
They are right but the Pelles C IDE is not very powerful and some nasty bug still persits since months.
The author prefer improve the compiler rather than the IDE (and I think he is right)

I hope Code::Blocks authors could do something because this compiler worth it.


Happy new year and have a nice day.

I am willing to try making C::B work with "Pelles C", but if it takes more than 2 or 3 days will have to give up because of the other tasks I am working on.

Is it open source? Found the FAQ, it is closed source.

what would be of good help to us so we don't need to go through the manual :
- have a look at the compiler options (and advanced options) for GCC and provide us with a list for the options, then we can put them in code. This is probably easier for you since you know that compiler.

You can even go all the way, have a look at the compiler code in the compiler plug-in of CB (get sources from svn repos)

Thanks for your answer.

Firstly, I am going to ask for the Pelles C author if it is agree.
If yes, I will make a list with all compiler options.

David Perfors:
I wonder why you need any permision of the author. When it is free, we can support it...
