 		 #135436 - Time to eat your words!
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Erik Malund said:
Things like "unsigned char XDATA" are defined in a separate file as, for this, UX8. Of course all things involving SFRs and such will have to change, my question refer to the basic C syntax.

Well, I always say that one should always encapsulate all compiler-dependencies in typedefs, #defines, etc.

Try a search for "Conditional Compilation"; eg,
http://www.8052.com/forum/read.phtml?id=129556

That way, I can compile all my 8051 code in Borland or Microsft - so the "basic C syntax" is taken care of.
(of course, the code doesn't actually run - but it compiles).

Stuff like:
Save This Code
#if KEIL
#define XDATA xdata
#elif BORLAND
#define XDATA
#elif MICROSOFT
#define XDATA
#else
#error Unsupported/Undefined compiler
#endif

Note the final #else and #error to catch misconfigurations...

Maarten Brock started a thread a while ago with this very aim:

You said,
although I have absolutely no interest in them, I laud your efforts

Looks like now is the time to get interested!

            I suggest Imagecraft C compiler            01/01/70 00:00      
               Ive found that gcc produces fast code and its free            01/01/70 00:00      
                  Worthless statistics            01/01/70 00:00      
                     the issue here is            01/01/70 00:00

                           sounds par for the course            01/01/70 00:00      
                     No linker with CodeVision AVR            01/01/70 00:00      
                        Both '51 and AVR at the same time?            01/01/70 00:00      
                           yes and no            01/01/70 00:00

                              questions, misunderstandings, answers            01/01/70 00:00      
                                 so you have the solution?            01/01/70 00:00      
                                    it's IAR            01/01/70 00:00      
                                       Just for the AVR...            01/01/70 00:00      
                                          I do not know, I did not ask            01/01/70 00:00      
                                             some snippets on AVRs...            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                interesting, evidently they have taken upon themse            01/01/70 00:00

                                                            apparently, Atmel admits it...            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                               so where is the 51freaks equivalent            01/01/70 00:00

   well, the whole story seems to be not            01/01/70 00:00
