Embedded microprocessors with limited resources and unusual
architectures are just the kind of target that compilers should be
used for. Compilers are much better at dealing with resource usage
than hand coding in assembler. Compiled code for this type of
processor allows the developer to concentrate on the application and
not the implementation details.
