#90407 - Always C
Responding to: ???'s previous message

When you need either:

1) Maximum speed
2) Minimum code size

Otherwise, use 'C'.


You are correct donald, but I dont think with these modern derivatives having 64kB flash and faster [ 6 cycle, 2 cycle & 1 cycle ] cores I will ever go back to assembly. Yes, not even for time intensive routines/applications. With C there is hardly any performance compromise, Keil has several times surprised me the code genrated by keil is better than my assembly codes in terms of both speed as well as size.
