BCX is FREEWARE and OPEN SOURCE
BCX converts your BCX BASIC source code into high performing, efficient C\C++ source code. Use C\C++ libraries and header files without having to first convert them into BASIC.
BCX is great for long time BASIC lovers, as well as anyone looking for an easy to grasp, rational approach to creating small, fast, native code Windows Desktop apps.
BCX uses traditional BASIC statements, commands and functions, along with many new features for easily creating 32/64 bit Windows desktop apps. If you've used QuickBasic, TurboBasic, PowerBasic, or VB6 then you will feel right at home coding in BCX.
Start enjoying the Ease Of BASIC and the Power of C!
BCX is programmed entirely using BCX BASIC and it is FAST! BCX translates its own source code, over 38,000 lines of code, in under 1 second on a modest Intel i7 desktop computer running Windows 11 Pro.

When BCX converts your BASIC files to C\C++, only the functions and data that your program uses are written out to the .c or .cpp file. That keeps your code size as small as possible. If you are just starting out with C compilers, BCX willl be a tremendous teaching tool for you. The source code that BCX generates is formatted, easy to read, and well thought out. BCX has been around for 20 years, and a lot of user input and know-how has made BCX what it is today.
