Subject: ARM compiler for palm? From: "Shree S" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Wed, 11 Aug 2004 13:49:19 +0530
I want to know whether there is any compiler available for palm which compiles directly for ARM processors.
Converting a part of code to ARM native for huge code where speed is important doesnt make any sence....
If your program mostly uses the Palm OS API, then you get most of the ARM performance as the API's are implemented in optimized ARM code on OS 5 devices.
There are some types of programs, such as high performance games, where you are going to implement almost all of the program in ARM code. For theis, third party API's are available to simplify that process.
But for most people, implementing a few critical functions in ARM code is the most you'll require. And you should do some live performance tests to figure out if you even need that.
