A new version of the SDCC C compiler is available. You can use SDCC to develop for the Amstrad CPC, e.g. with using the SDCC Code::Blocks template or the programming tutorials by Mochilote or with the new CPCtelera framework. The new version contains also some features for the Z80 port, so be sure to update it. You can download it from http://sdcc.sourceforge.net.

Changes:

  • Merged upstream binutils 2.25
  • New memory management with lower overhead
  • Changed default language dialect to –std-sdcc11
  • Diagnostic for missing type specifier: No implicit int outside of C90 mode anymore
  • C11 generic selections
  • char type is now unsigned by default (old behaviour can be restored using –fsigned-char)
  • Character constants are now of type int instead of char.
  • ISO C95 and ISO C11 wide character constants
  • ISO C95 and ISO C11 wide string literals
  • Basic standard library support for wide characters: c16rtomb(), mbrtoc16(), mbsinit(), mbtowc(), mbrlen(), mbrtoc32, c32rtomb(), mbrtowc(), wcrtomb(), mblen(), wctomb()
  • Treat all ports the same in the manual (i.e. mcs51-specific stuff is now clearly described as such)
  • Reorganized interrupt handling for z80, z180, r2k, r3ka, tlcs90, gbz80 backends
  • Workaround for stm8 division hardware bug
  • ELF/DWARF support for stm8
  • Output symbol table for ELF
  • pic16 port now uses standard-compliant crt0iz that initializes static and globals to 0 by default
  • Numerous feature requests and bug fixes
