- Hello,
-
- SUGGESTIONS NEEDED!!!
-
- I'm currently developing some things for a 68332, and I'm interested in
- porting my development stuff to the IBM PC world.
-
- Currently I'm using gnu's GCC compiler on a SUN3 to generate '332 compatible
- code, but I would like to get away from the UNIX environment for access
- reasons. Hence, I would like to port my libraries over to a PC.
-
- The question is, what PC based C compiler should I buy? Here are the
- functionality conditions:
-
- 1) My libraries make use of some of the non-standard features of GCC, such as
- the "inline" function declaration, and inlined assembler formats. Ideally I
- would like to find a compiler that is GCC compatible, so that I don't have to
- rethink all the inlined stuff.
-
- 2) Cost shouldn't be more than around a few $1000's, less ideally.
-
- 3) It should have downloader capabilites, either having it's own that talks
- to the motorola debugger, or be compatible with the motorola downloader. It
- should also be able to generate a binary file that can be burned into an
- eprom. (This could also be used instead of a downloader, since I could use
- NVRAMS and to them via a programming socket).
-
- All suggestions will be appreciated! I will summarize if requested. Please
- mail to bleck@ai.mit.edu

-
- Thanks in advance,
- -Olaf
