Yes, it is true. When I began scc (at that moment kcc), the problem I had was that compilers for z80 was not confortable to me. I used hitech C for msdos using dosemu, or the other possibility was sdcc, which at that moment generated very bad code for z80. Another objective I had was to be able of executing the compiler in a z80 host environment, so any of the options I had at this moment were not good for me. scc becomes a suckless project now, and we converted it into a multi targered compiler, which will be able (some day ...) of generating code for z80/386 and amd64. There is another difference to, that is the source code style. I can say that 8cc, although well written, doesn't match the style and quality of suckless projects. Regards,
