Turbo C is a Borland Integrated Development Environment and compiler for the C programming language.
Version history
- version 1.0, in 1987 - It offered the first integrated edit-compile-run development environment for C on IBM PCs. It ran in 384KB of memory. It allowed inline assembly, supported all memory models, and offered optimisations for speed, size, constant folding, and jump elimination.
- Version 1.5 - It was shipped on five 360 KB diskettes of uncompressed files, and came with sample C programs, including a stripped down spreadsheet called mcalc.
- Version 2.0 - It had a debugger, a fast assembler, and an extensive graphics library.
Turbo C has been largely supplanted by Turbo C++, introduced May 1990, for both DOS and Windows and later by Borland C++.
