 		 #121525 - A Posidriv driver and a Phillips screw
Responding to: ???'s previous message
They look compatible, and can be forced to work together, but the result is often not satisfactory.

There are many examples of improper application of compilers to the 8051, such as unnecessary use of signed numbers, unnecessary use of ints (16-bit) when chars (8-bit) will do, and so on. I have improved performance by an order of magnitude by cleaning up these sorts of oversights.

Tools have to be applied correctly. This implies knowledge of how the tool interfaces to the product, and how the tool functions. This is just as true for a C compiler as it is for a screwdriver.
