I have developed a FreeWare ANSI-1 compliant C-Compiler for 8051
base microcontrollers. I have done some testing with it, but the program
has become too complex for me test all possibilities myself.
If you are going to download the program and test , please be aware
that it is still under Alpha testing.
Suggestions for improvment of Code-Generation and Optimization VERY
VERY WELCOME. I plan to create a complete Windows based Freeware
development kit for 8051, but for now it is just the compiler. Here is
brief
list of
Features:
        . ANSI-1 Compliant
        7 Language extensions to allow optimized access to 8051 memory
        7 Two memory models ( Small & Large)
        7 Non-stack automatic variables & parameters to save stack space.
        7 Allows ANSI style `structures'.
        7 Allows ANSI style bit field definition in structures.
        7 Allows use of `emunerated' type.
        7 Generic pointers
        7 External stack (upto 256 bytes)
        7 Register Bank Switching
        7 User defined Interrupt Service Routines
        7 Use of function pointers
        7 Absolute address for variables.
        7 Bit space addressablity, with code optimization for bit access
        7 Rudimentary support for creating libraries
        7 IT IS FREE ( Will remain FREE)


System Requirements
        7 80486 or better
        7 Windows 95 / Windows NT


Limitations
        7 'long' ( 32-bit ) variables not supported
        7 No floating point support
        7 Code generated is in source format.
        7 Requires 'ASM51' ( FreeWare Version) by Metalink Corp
        7 No linkage editor.
