a host of standard optimizations such as global sub expression elimination, loop optimizations (loop invariant, strength reduction of induction variables and loop reversing), constant folding and propagation, copy propagation, dead code elimination and jump tables for ‘switch’ statements.extensive MCU specific language extensions, allowing effective use of the underlying hardware.SDCC sdas and sdld, a retargettable assembler and linker, based on ASXXXX, is Free Open Source Software, distributed under GNU General Public License (GPL).SDCC is Free Open Source Software, distributed under GNU General Public License (GPL). Work is in progress on supporting the Microchip PIC16 and PIC18 series. SDCC is a retargettable, optimizing ANSI – C compiler that targets the Intel 8051, Maxim 80DS390, Zilog Z80 and the Motorola 68HC08 based MCUs.
