howevet I can think of no case where using the LARGE model represent "A properly engineered system". I'm not going to try to think of such a case since most of my work is done in assembler, but I would generally take issue with such a global, general statement that implies that simply using the large model is automatically not a "properly engineered system." In my last project I decided to take a crack at using SDCC. I ran into some issues but luckily no show-stoppers. The processor was already chosen and had more than enough code space and on-board XRAM to let me use the large model (I think that's what it's called under SDCC) and forget about it. No, it didn't do anything that was timing-critical. If it was time-critical, I wouldn't have been using 'C' to start with. Could the program have been a little tighter and a little faster if I had used a more efficient model? Probably. Did it matter? Not at all. My point simply being that I don't think that it is necessarily reasonable to imply that using the large memory model is an indication of a system that hasn't been properly engineered.
