    Probably a bit off topic, but if the C objects increase in number (and C users look for C objects) would it be better to have a separate area in obex?

    This is great!

    I have used ImageCraft C tools on the AVR and ARM and they are superb smile.gif

    Generally I use the GNU Tool Chains but sometimes you need something better, like
    when you are running out of mem space.

    It will be interesting to see what new C code gets posted for this compiler.

    I have come to believe that the prop should be programmed in pasm
    since mem space is so limited...but I'm willing to be convinced that a good
    compiler can make compact object code smile.gif

    Hi Massimo,

    I think it's probably better to have them all in one place as many of us are language neutral - plus those little SPIN | ASM | C icons make it easy to see what's what.· It's nice to be able to compare similar algorithms across languages too.

    ciao,
    Howard

    Hey there,

    Since this thread re-heated I've had three requests via PM for free ICCV7 C Compilers for the Propeller. When we send these out for free we are paying ImageCraft for them, and I've exceeded the number of compilers we will provide for free. I'll take care of those who recently made requests, but will now end the free distribution if that's okay with you.

    Outstanding! Thanks Parallax.

    If we already own the Imagecraft compiler (non-commercial without fp support) will there be a discount for an upgrade to the commercial version?

    Also, please consider adding extra hardware support, for future props, for faster LMM or other memory models.

    Graham
