Dear SDCC developers and users, I'll try to give a rough summary of my understanding of the results of the SDCC developer meeting 2. Slides for three of the talks can be found at https://sourceforge.net/p/sdcc/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/sdcc-extra/developer%20meeting/2/, and we'll likely have transscripts of talks and questions / answers for them.
We recognize the need for better support for current µC in SDCC and our rough plans for SDCC 3.6.0 are: * Improve reliability by fixing bugs and adopting more tests from GCC * Merge current upstream asxxxx into sdas (most of the other tasks depend on this) * Look into link-time elimination of unused functions and objects * Further improve ISO C standard compliance * Improve DWARF output * Improve eZ80 and Rabbit support * Introduce basic PDK16 support * Introduce f8l support * Improve S08 support * Look into possible improvements in obtaining tree decompositions (which SDCC uses in optimizations) Some other tasks will most likely be postponed until after the 3.6.0 release: * Introduce TLCS-870(/C,/C1) family support (hard to get chips, eval boards, and documentation) * Improve MCS-51 support (we recognize that this is our most important target architecture, but there is substantial work required, and for 3.6.0 we'll be busy with a lot of other stuff) * Atomics Philipp _______________________________________________ Sdcc-user mailing list Sdcc-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/sdcc-user
