That's good news.
Where to start? Well I think being able to compile SDCC locally and run regression tests is one of the first things. Also register for the sdcc-user and sdcc-developer mailing list. After that you can pick a bug / feature request from the SourceForge list and start implementing. When you've got it tackled post the solution as a patch on the SDCC SourceForge site. After a few good patches you'll be recognized and offered developer cvs access. That's when you also need to learn about using cvs and how we handle that. That's basically what I did just two years ago. Just show some commitment. Small vs. Behemoth: The peephole optimization rules are all small yet can be very effective. They're easy to understand too. But the price is that they require much time during compilation. A bit higher up is the code generation which mostly takes place in src/mcs51/gen.c. It's still a large file but pretty isolated and creates relatively small pieces of asm code. The library is also just a set of many small isolated pieces, but preferrably written in C for maintenance reasons. In the whole set of files there are probably still pieces I do not understand or have never even looked at. 'This enough for starters? Maarten |

| Yup | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| oh $8 | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| I don't buy that one | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
you have to work with what you get | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
