8051 C Compiler

Which is the best C compiler for 8051 (Analog Devices Aduc831/841 in
particular)?
Does anyone have experience with Accutron tools?

Thanks in advance.

What are you talking about?

Best price.
Best code density.
Best speed optimisation.
Best support.
Best debug tools.
Most aesthetically appealing packaging.
etc.
etc.

Keil.

Excuse me.

I'm looking for a compiler that generates best code in terms of speed
optimisation.
This compiler must have debugging tools too, for Analog Device ADUC
microcontrollers.

Thanks in advance

How can someone reply to a properly bottom posted article with
top-posting?  It seems to me that this takes amazing gall and
rudeness.

C and 8051 are a very poor marriage especially it terms of speed.
Unless you have some overwheming reason to use both together find
another option.

I agree with Spehro.

Keil is the primary compiler for the ADuC chips from Analog Devices.  We 
have used it with many of the chips in the series.  The uVision IDE is very 
good.  The simulator is the best I have ever used.  It completely models the 
chip allowing full access to I/O including analog.  You can specify voltages 
for the ADC inputs, states for the digital I/O and examine any variable, 
including making watch lists of the variables of interest to you.

The Accutron Aspire tools work (mostly), but seemed to need a lot of fussing 
with them and the configuration to get them to work at all.  That may have 
improved since we started using them.

Once you get Aspire running you can configure uVision to use it directly 
with the exact same IDE as the simulator.

I'm just looking for a list of C compilers compatible with Aduc8xx
microcontrollers; I think I will use Keil compiler but, before starting
development, I liked to know if there are good substitutes, other than
Keil...

Actually it works quite well. Lots of people manage it.
