There is a new 8051 C compiler in beta test that beats Keil's compiler by 35% code size, and 14% speed, on the Dhrystone benchmark. And, there is no need to select a memory model or use special keywords to control data placement.

Hi Clyde,
remember me from the beta days of tha XA compiler?
Those optimizations are on the agenda, but they're not dependent on OCG, which is the really new technology that has delivered the improved performance to repeat my point ANY optimizations is desirable to SOME, the issue is an extremely flexible 'menu' of which you want to suit YOUR environment.

Erik, I remember the XA, but not you, I'm afraid. But then I think I've forgotten more than I know, so don't take it personally :-)
