Hello guys, This might be out of topic, but while this was mentionned, I've asked me this question a few times so I hope somebody has an answer.
How comes AVR can be targetted by gcc at all ? AVR might be RISC, true, but it is a 8-bit architecture, and the standard gcc compiler is optimized for at least 16-bit CPUS right, because SDCC is separate from GCC for a reason, right ? Or perhaps gcc doesn't target the same kind of AVR processor as those I used to code for in assembly ? As for the MSP430, I know gcc supports it but I have no idea how good it is. I have used the IAR compiler when I had to target those.
