I think I've deleted/lost the start of this thread, however as a brand new sdcc-user (well 2-3 months) one thing I'd like to see is eradication of a lot of the old articles about how poor the SDCC PIC support is...
I'm nearing completion of my project - it's about 11K lines of C and compiled into about 90KB of PIC18 code and I really don't know what I'd have done without SDCC (ok, i'd have paid for a commercial compiler, but that's not the point!) It's not been without it's issues - executing math code in interrupts, for which I made a workaround in my RTOS for - however one of the commercial vendus I approached doesn't support that either... Another thing I've read recently is that the sparkfun people (Arduino) have been approached by the Microchip people to make a PIC version of Arduino - and the usual complaints follow of no good C compiler.... (Although they use c++ which isn't for me, but there might still be milage there) So maybe there's scope for more documentation and maybe a "press release" or 2? But I really wouldn't know where to start myself... Actually, I can - when I have time, I'm going to create a new blog for my project when it's finally ready, so will push SDCC there. It's a real-time dive computer if anyones interested - based on the OSTC Mk 2. (Which is "open source" hardware) I'm not sure yet if I'm going to sell it or give it away - I've not decided that yet.
