BCC32

Go Up to C++ Compilers

BCC32 is the RAD Studio C++ compiler for 32-bit Windows. RAD Studio provides BCC32C, a newer C++ compiler for 32-bit Windows that is based on Clang, as an optional alternative to BCC32.

Note: For 64-bit Windows, use BCC64.

General Information

Field	Value
Calling Conventions	MSVC __fastcall C Pascal Register Standard Call
Name Mangling	Borland
Standard Library	Dinkumware

Note: The classic Code Gear C++ compiler (BCC32) requires the dinkumware Include directory. Remember to set the BCC32 variable by adding this directory to the Windows-Embarcadero.cmake, at the top of the file:

if(BCC32)
include_directories(SYSTEM "${ROOTDIR}/include/dinkumware")
else()
include_directories(SYSTEM "${ROOTDIR}/include/dinkumware64")
endif()

Output Files

File Type	File Extension	File Format
Executable	.exe	PE32
Shared Library	.dll	PE32
Static Library	.lib	OMF
Compiled Object	.obj	OMF

Writing C++ Code for BCC32

#if defined(__BORLANDC__) && !defined(__clang__) && defined(_WIN32) && !defined(_WIN64)
    // Your code.
#endif
