Turbo C (aka TC) is [http://www.borland.com/ Borland's] 16-bit C compiler. In OS development, it is only useful for developing real mode operating systems. TC normally compiles to a DOS .exe executable, but the generated code can be turned into a flat binary by [[exe2bin]] if you compile with the -mt (model tiny) argument to the compiler, which makes the result position-independent.
== Make bug ==
If you're using Turbo C. There is a chance that the make program that comes in TC hangs indefinitely. To fix this it's necessary to create a makefile that does absolutely nothing. This only happens on Turbo C 2.01.
== Inline Assembly ==
Inline assembly works fine in Turbo C, but there are a few rules:
* You must compile from the command line
* You must own [[TASM]] or pass -Exxx to the compiler
* Only intel syntax is accepted
-Exxx specifies an alternate assembler to use, eg. -Enasm.exe if you wanted to assemble with [[NASM]].
