We are developing a product on 8051 microcontroller. We have done coding using assembly language. Right now our code size is very high and is overshooting the allocated ROM size.
We have started code optimization using “code optimizing tips†and by “optimizing the designâ€. But from “assembler and linker†I am unaware of any directive available for code optimization.
Please let me know for any tools/KEIL options which help in "Assembly code optimization" (Eg: Identifying repeated patterns, identifying duplicate expressions, removal of dead code, Suggesting right instruction etc…)
I agree with your statement as applied to the impression given by the OP but not as a general statement.

But then again: We have to balance our answers to the requirements and capabilities of the requester.
