Hi A colleague of mine is using MPLAB C compiler and is struggling with the saving of registers in ISRs. Apparently the compiler manual says you have to manually scan the assembler code generated by the compiler to work out what registers to save/restore in interrupt routines. His software is crashing and he appears to be struggling to solve the problem. Does anyone have any exper...

We are currently using an 18 year old version (3.x) of Introl-C that runs under DOS. A 6809 C compiler (+assembler,etc) is needed to maintain and update code for our 6809-based card. (And NO, I can't get our product updated to a newer CPU!) I've run into a number of compiler crashes. Sometimes the compiler complains that it has an internal error, and sometimes it hangs the PC and I'm forc...

Hello, I have a question regarding compiler optimization of a cross compiler GCC (m68k). We are using version 3.4.0.

I'm in the process of choosing between either using Microchip's C18 compiler or the CCS compiler. I've read the comparisons as far as features go and both are comparable although CCS does seem to have somewhat more features. But one of the really big factors is simply how big the developer communities compare. How much sample code is there on the web for both compilers. When I google the k...
