Version 1.0G

• Supports Microchip PIC17 devices
• Compact code
• CC8E compatibility

Features

The CC7A C compiler supports all PIC17 instructions and generates optimized code. The code efficiency that have put CC5X in a leading position for over 15 years also applies to CC7A.

The compiler supports 8, 16, 24 and 32 bit variables, signed and unsigned, including single bit variables, compiler generated layout of local variables, automatic ram bank updating. Many files can be generated (hex, assembly, list, error, function outline, variable list). The compiler supports structures and unions, bitfields, typedef, typecast, arrays and pointers.

Fixed and floating point math is available. The floating point math (16, 24 and 32 bit). The library code is compact and fast. Code can be optimized for size or speed.

The code generated by CC7A can be inspected at the example page.

The EXTENDED edition also supports LEANSLICE multitasking.

The table shows the differences between the compiler editions.

cc7ademo.exe (829k) - Windows installation program
cc7ademo.zip (297k)  - ZIP file alternative (manual installation)
Up to 2048 words of code can be generated, with full optimization. Restrictions apples to the generated code as described in file readme.txt.

cc7atest.exe (826k) - Windows installation program
cc7atest.zip (296k)   - ZIP file alternative (manual installation)
Up to 32k words of code can be generated, but NO hex file. The assembly file is MODIFIED (labels are not complete). This TEST edition supports 8, 16, 24 and 32 bit integers, fixed and floating point math, leanslice multitasking and FULL optimization (same as EXTENDED edition). This allows code development and conversion of existing applications to check code size.
