In 1989 [...] concurrently working with Alan Mycroft developing the Norcroft [MN88 - 1988] C compiler, and so we were especially well in tune with the emerging ANSI C standard.
{{cite book}}: CS1 maint: location missing publisher (link)We have created C compilers for a range of computers, from mainframes to embedded special purpose chips. [...] the following partial list will give an idea of the range of our output. Acorn Computers ARM C Compiler. This is the original ANSI C compiler known as Norcroft C.
Castle has announced the launch of a subscription scheme for its C/C++ development suite. The scheme aims to fund future development of the compiler suite through annual subscriptions [...]
RISC OS Open has taken over sales of the Acorn C/C++ development suite, known as the Norcroft compiler, which is used to build RISC OS.
Acorn began work on ANSI C compilers around 1987. C release 3 was made in 1989, and was followed by Desktop C and Desktop Assembler in 1991. The development of the compiler was a joint venture between Norcroft (at the time Arthur Norman and Alan Mycroft--two academics from Cambridge University Computing Labs) and the PLG at Acorn. Sources were regularly exchanged between both parties but, generally, Norcroft were responsible for adherence to the emerging ANSI standard, whilst Acorn concentrated on the RISC OS specifics of the C library and on common subexpression elimination, register allocation and peephole optimisation for the ARM.

Norcroft: Faster than GCC to compile programs, probably by about two times. GCC: Supports a much newer C++ implementation than Norcroft, as well as C99.
Find yourself writing programs in BBC BASIC? Do your programs ever involve floating point maths? Well we've got some good news for you...
Latest Norcroft C compiler [...] Code generation now tailored to use ARMv6/v7/v8 extended instructions where possible
The Norcroft C compiler, CC, has been extended to implement the latest C18 (ISO9899:2018) standard
[...] the completion of Pace's cross-compilation project – an initial milestone on the path to full cross-compilation support. [...] Most of them build on Linux, targetting RISC OS, using the GCC toolchain [...]
