#149987 - Generate Skeleton C code Responding to: ???'s previous message |
Various commercial C Compilers for AVR, PIC, PSoC contain Code Wizard programs.
Via a HTML form, the device, xtal, timers, peripherals are all selected and configured. The Wizard then generates ISR and initialisation code. Because the 8051 has SO many derivatives, I can see that it will be a nightmare to maintain the device tables and ensure that "features" are overcome. The biggest problem is portability. As far as I know the more sophisticated Wizards are bound to specific compilers. Naming conventions, memory addressing and interrupt syntax vary widely. If you can imagine the difficulties new users currently have with reading data sheets and compiler documentation. A universal Wizard will keep this forum very busy. Skeleton code also has to deal with unsupported code libraries, and startup code. Personally I would suggest that any proposed project should concentrate on ONE commercial compiler. This is the only way that you can minimise the syntax and version anomalies. I have used the AVR wizards and they are quick and easy to set timer modes and values without calculating them by hand. As Jan is not fond of C, to produce anything to encourage conformance to assembler coding style is doomed. Assembler programmers will argue more than any other people in the world. David. |
