What's the best PIC 18F452 compiler?

[hi_cyberwarrior]

Can anyone suggest me towards the best PIC "C" cross compiler? I heard that CCS C compiler is good but is expensive too!!

Can gcc be ported for the same use? Or any free compilers on "Open Source" for this micro-controller?

Thanks in Advance!!

You can try SDCC (sdcc.sf.net). Compile your program from C to ASM and then compile by MPASM to hex.

As to commercial compilers, I think C compilers from HI-TECH (www.htsoft.com) are the best. They provide demo-version with code size limitation on site.

Can I please know whether the optimisation removal in CCS C compiler will affect normal coding after 30 days?

c compiler 18f452

just joined - looking through old threads - so very late on this one (!)

Check out MikroElectronika : they have compilers for C, Basic and Pascal.
They are free - with a 2k code limit. Good support forum.

Hi!
Visit the Microchip site and download the latest version of their C18 Compiler. You can use it freely for 60 days (no limitation).

Hi,

JAL compiler is a high level language but it is very simple, and I think they developed it to program 18F, it is for free, and there are many people working on it... you can find it on the web: http://www.voti.nl/jal/index_1.html

good Luck:arrow::idea:
