Hi, being, at least lately, partially responsible for creating the noice on this list in regards to PIC18/SDCC I felt I need to comment on this:
>>> [email protected] 27.1.2009 4:51 >>> >>but from what I've read on this mailing list, SDCC has a number of PIC18 >>> shortcomings. You're going to be a bit of a trailblazer here. Wiile I'm sure there are shortcomings in SDCC as well as in all other compilers weather it is Keil or Gnu gcc or what have you, I'm not confortable with an off hand remark like this putting down the PIC18 port of SDCC. I'been a long time lurker on this list and it is easy to get the wrong impression by casual looking at the mailing since by the very nature of this sort of activity we only hear about problems. And very often the problems turn out to be problems somewhere else than in the SDCC and not everyone takes the trouble report solved problems, and even fewer report that "I've been using SDCC for years without any problems thank you very much". I've used both HC08 and PIC18 ports and while I've had my share of problems, none of them have turned out to be even indirectly related to SDCC, let alone turned out to be bugs in the compiler. If there are specific pin pointable problems with any of the ports, let us by all means discuss them, but please lets keep from refraining general derogatory comments that contribute nothing but spread FUD. So there. br Kusti ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword _______________________________________________ Sdcc-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/sdcc-user
