didn't the SDCC PIC port ever get finished? I thought it was pretty close a few years ago. There's always the 8051, too... not that it's so much better than any other processor, but because it's pretty easy to second-source. http://sdcc.sourceforge.net/ > Been thinking about moving to the Atmel line as they too like the > Renesas chips are sort of built > for C, from what I can gather the PICs are ineffecient in this regaurd. the PICs with register-to-register transfers shouldn't be that bad, if the compiler does a decent job of register allocation. -- - Charles Lepple
