If one is afraid of overhead, I would simply buy the vendor recommended compiler. Many of the 3rd party alternatives are less optimal too. At least they are with (ds)pic
Well, as far as the micro controller vendors are concerned, those are usually C and to some lesser extend, BASIC compiler's only. MikroElectronic has a not half bad Pascal compiler (though with quite a few bugs and quirks) for AVR and as I mentioned in my last post, for a lot of PIC chips, PMP is a quite decent choice if someone wants to stick with Pascal instead of using a different programming language. Not that anything in general is wrong with those C/BASIC options available, but it's simply a matter of preference of the basic language/tool to use... ;-)
I personally would like to be able to use FPC for some upcoming Raspberry Pi projects (which is an ARM v6/ARM11) rather than having to use C (though I am using C for +30 years now as well)
