Preferably one that will run in 32bit Windows, but output 16bit code. I don't want to have to do all the programming in DOS. |

Why do you want 16-bit code? There are several different compilers that can produce "16-bit code", but whether they'll work for you depends on what you're trying to do... |

Clang and GCC are perfectly fine compilers that are being used to develop OSes. However, they don't output 16-bit code unless you specifically hack them to do so. Why exactly do you want a compiler that outputs 16-bit code? What is the purpose? This gives vibes of the XY problem. You don't need to write code that runs on 16-bit x86 to write an OS. That period is long gone. |
