I will definitely not do it.
I too think gcc is mainly targeted to big processors (>=16bit) and totally stack based as standard C requires. SDCC on the other hand is targeted to Small Devices (8bit) and deviates from the standard here just like most 8051 compilers do. Not only has the 8051 limited stack space, it also is missing good indexing instructions like: mov a,@sp-10 So can it be done? Sure. Efficiently? Not likely. I would rather see someone who is willing to put that much effort in to join the SDCC development team and help improve what's already there. |

| Probably not | 01/01/70 00:00 | |

| No. | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
