Another similar one that I suggest is BoostC ( ) It has its own IDE, but it is also supported by MPLAB if you choose to use it there. they "could" do the same thing - one version for USA and another for the rest of the World, but - why bother. check out the GCC, they also have only the optimizations they developed or that were "given" to them by some "nice" people.
look at the mikroE, all libraries are close source?!?!? why ?!?! do you see any reason for that ?! I do not. So, when we look truth in the eye's, there's just too much hassle around it that is not related to development itself (administration, politics, birocracy) that I do not think we can expect foss pic C compiler soon.

I offered to one of the "usb oscilloscope developers" *FREE* help to port the driver and application to linux, after 4 months I got answer that they are not interested in making drivers for linux for their device ?!?!?! I asked nothing in return, I already purchased the device. the developers of the "elco" tools are "crazy darn skico". as much as "elco" engineers share code, share schematics, ideas. and to be honest, in the "elco" world, that just do not cut it.
so what would be the reason the invest serious time and money to develop the compiler, then to play administrative games with, you can dl this, and you can dl that, waiting for the company X to sue you for liability. there is the boostC, ccs, hitech and many others. for avr they have single solution for all of them that is ~70E (not sure they have C, I think only pascal).

mikroC is ~100E per section (up to 18* and dsPIC) so for 200E you get full pic support, that is not much imho.
compilers around, and they are "fairly" cheep. That's true, althoe, in europe you have pandam to sw patents called "IP" that is pretty similar, and most of the algorithms are protected that way, but the main problem is "why bother".

There are people who know how to implement them, problem is, they are patented by various companies and not allowed to be used in foss env. the major problem that is in the way of foss compilers being "close to good as some of *costly* ones" is from what I heard (from other gnu compiler developers) cost of the optimisation algorithms. Hero999, I agree with you 100%, I also opened the thread hoping to find link to foss app.
the thing that "it does not embed in mplab" does not concearn me, mikroE ide is better them mplab, ccs ide is better then mplab, "visual" testing I can do in ISIS and as for programming and debugging - I have mikroE easypic4 so I can debug directly from mikroC I had no chance of testing the boostC but I already purchased 2 compilers, getting the third one to do the same thing does not sound smart, and as colin already stated, mikroE has some nifty tools in the ide.

Ĭomparing output of mikroC and ccs c for 16F877A, the mikroC code is better, the only thing is, I tend to *realy* dislike the part where *all* libraries are close source and to port ccs libraries to mikroC. I paid 110US$ for ccs c compiler and I can program only 12/16 pic's, for 18 family I have to "upgrade" with another xyz$. I paid mikroC 99E and it works on all 12/16/18 pic's. Apart from closing source of all the libraries (still do not understand why) mikroE compilers are pretty darn good.
