#109146 - RE: The right tool for the job
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Ian Bell said:
gcc is targeted at bigger processors than the 8051.

Yes, that was my impression: http://www.8052.com/forum/read.phtml?id=109058

Observing posts about GCC-AVR on http://www.avrfreaks.net, it seems that GCC-AVR has completely failed to address the specific needs of compact, microcontroller code; specifically:
  • Provision to disable the default ANSI promotion of everything to an int (16 bits);
  • Provision for direct access to individual bits.
