Hi,

Can anyone point me to a known good, objective review of the C compilers
available for the PIC?

Thanks,

Dan

There is a comparison of several C compilers at http://www.dontronics.com
<http://www.dontronics.com>  as I recall.

Yes, but it's hopelessly out of date.

Hi,

Yeah, I noticed it was out of date. In the interests of selling me your product,
why dont you point me to a more recent review?
One that is unbiased, of course ; )

Seriously, anyone know of a more recent review/comparison/undocumented
feature.......er......I mean, bug list available from an independent source?

Dan

I don't know of one. And while I could quite happily write one,
it wouldn't exactly be unbiased. I can only tell you that we
get excellent comments from our customers, and we offer a full
money-back guarantee, which very few people take us up on.

Regards, Clyde

Hello PicListers,

I don't know of any reviews but for what it's worth I now use HiTech PIC C
having outgrown the CCS Compiler and also MPLABC v1.21.

Since moving to C a few years ago I have never needed to return to MPASM
for any of my projects.

Hope this is of some use.

Nigel

What part of the ccs compiler did you outgrow?  I use it all the time
and have not had any problems with it.

Hello John,

My experience with the CCS compiler was a couple of years ago now, the project was
16C74 based and I had a problem with switch statements above a certain number,
if I remember correctly my program ignored them.

I found it a great compiler for small projects and completed several without problems using 16C71's, 16C73's and 16C84's.

I can't remember which version I was using at the time but recall being a little
worried about daily increments to the version number when I was within the free
upgrade period.

The main feature I miss is the library functions which made things like serial
comms very easy.

I'm now very comfortable with the Hi-Tech PIC C compiler and have recently
upgraded my project from the 16C74 to the 16F874 and changed compilers at
the same time without problems.

Hope this is of some use.

Nigel
