Hi,
I try to create a compiler for a 16-bit DSP with 8-bit microprocessor.
There are three free candidates for the front end for this compiler,
LCC, SDCC and GCC.
But I think GCC is too complex, therefore I prefer to choose LCC or
SDCC.
I have several questions about LCC and SDCC:
1. Which back end of them is easy to retarget?
2. Which generated machine code of them is more efficient?
3. Which of them is stabler?
4. The SDCC supports inline assembly code. How about the LCC?
Thanks for your help.
All of yor opinions will be great helpful to me to evaluate which one
is suitable.


Regards,
Ming-zhi Lin
