#150022 - Too much like hard work
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Jan,

I would assume that you personally have no problem writing initialisation code. I also assume that you commonly use only a subset of the available 8051 devices and variants.

Even if you select one particular toolchain, you will get requests from people wanting to use some other combination. I personally use AVR more than 8051. I like my code to be portable between CodeVision and avr-gcc. Similarly I strive for portability between Keil and sdcc for 8051 family. I fully accept the restrictions that this entails. I would guess that Eric would choose ONE compiler.

I would agree with you that the generated code would not have conditionals. These would have been ironed out by the generator parsing all the options.

I had a brief look at the online Philips Code Architect. Personally I would prefer hand coding. It would be interesting to hear from users of these Code generation tools.

David.
