I have been using Cosmic C (formerly called intermetrics Whitesmith C)
for the 68HC11. Their newest release produces code like a good
assembly programmer with occasional foibles like expanding 8 bit
signed numbers to 16 bits but sometomes it is so clever I can't be
sure if it is really "worse" than I would be. "Hello World" is about
49 bytes total--no extra run-time code is needed. When a call can
have its arguments in a register it doesn't push anything, so the
overhead of "stack frames" is very low.
