Troll Alert  
News Group: comp.lang.c

Two well known trolls: "tea cup" and "James Kuyper" continue to do their 
work.

Both are spreading lies about the ccl.

They say that it is a "vendor lock in", when in fact the ccl can be 
compiled under ANY compiler (it has been tested under gcc, apple's gcc, 
microsoft visual studio, and intel compiler).

I have said that in this forum MANY times but (specially Kuyper) refuses 
to acknowledge that and continue to spread lies about it.

Kuyper says:


It's free for non-commercial use, and in the past, he's said "I'm not
selling anything", which implies that no one has ever admitted wanting
it for commercial use.


One of my customers is MathWorks, from Boston. They use lcc-win as a 
back end compiler since approx. 15 years. Recently they upgraded to the 
64 bit version.

I am not going to send him my customer list though.

Basically these people are tecnically zeroes. They have never published 
anything, and besides quoting endlessly the c standard they apparently 
can't do anything else.

The C containers library is a project that has many enemies, but it is 
frustrating that in this forum that should promote the use of the 
language, so few technical discussions appear that have a level that 
goes beyond:

"it is int main(void) dude"

or

"do not cast the value of malloc()"

It is because a small group of probably 2-3 persons monopolizes the 
discussion, killing everything they do not understand with their trolling.

Their tactics is always the same:

When I post something here it is usually "richard boss" that will start 
trolling, followed by kuyper, that even if he says I am in his 
"killfile" never passes an occasion to answer the trolling of "boss"
in my threads.

Then their sockpuppets start (tea-cup, for instance) always with the 
same arguments:

"vendor lock in"
"non free compiler"

etc.

Their attitude is encouraged by the silence of the others. Maybe because 
they have succeeded in destroying any discussion about C here.
