The Norcroft C compiler (also referred to as the Norcroft compiler suite) in computing is a portable set of C/C++ programming tools written by Codemist, available for a wide range of processor architectures.[1]
Norcroft C was developed by Codemist, established in November 1987[2] by a group of academics from the University of Cambridge and University of Bath;[3][4] Arthur Norman, Alan Mycroft and John Fitch. Development took place from at least 1985;[5][6] the company was dissolved in May 2016.[2] The name Norcroft is derived from the original authors' surnames.[7]
Acorn C/C++ was released for the RISC OS operating system, developed in collaboration with Acorn Computers.[1][8]
This compiler for the INMOS Transputer was developed in collaboration with Perihelion Software.[8]
This compiler for Cambridge Consultants' XAP processor is another Norcroft compiler.[8]
