Turbo C (aka TC) is Borland's 16-bit C compiler. In OS development, it is only useful for developing real mode operating systems. TC compiles to a MZ executable.

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!

-Exxx specifies an alternate assembler to use, eg. -Enasm.exe if you wanted to assemble with NASM.
