I disagree. sdcc supports targets that might be called horrible for C. But the Z80 is not one of them. The Z80 is okay; not pefect, but okay. It is not too hard to set up a frame pointer (as sdcc usually does in ix), and use it for accessing the stack. > > The simple fact you can do things like LD HL, (SP-30) totally > changes the way you generate code IMHO. Not really. You save the code for setting up the frame pointer at function entry, but otherwise the generated code is very similar. sdcc has backends for the Rabbit 2000, Rabbit 3000A and TLCS-90. These do have some instructions with stack-pointer-relative adressing, but in the sdcc source the backend is the same as the Z80 one (with a few if(TARGET_IS_TLCS90), etc) in there.
