What is SDCC?

GCC is distributed via git and via HTTPS as tarballs compressed with gzip or bzip2. Please refer to the releases web page for information on how to obtain GCC. The source distribution includes the C, C, Objective-C, Fortran, and Ada (in the case of GCC 3.1 and later) compilers, as well as runtime libraries for C, Objective-C, and Fortran. The GNU Compiler Collection or GCC for short, comprises front ends for C, Objective-C, C, Java, Fortran, Go and Ada, along with libraries for the mentioned languages. GCC us the main component of the GNU toolchain, it is distributed under the GNU General Public License and plays a central. The GNU Toolchain for the Cortex-A Family is a ready-to-use, open source suite of tools for C, C and Assembly programming. This toolchain targets processors from the Arm Cortex-A family and implements the Arm A-profile architecture. The toolchain includes the GNU Compiler (GCC) and is available free of charge directly for Windows.

SDCC is a retargettable, optimizing Standard C (ANSI C89, ISO C99, ISO C11) compiler suite that targets the Intel MCS51 based microprocessors (8031, 8032, 8051, 8052, etc.), Maxim (formerly Dallas) DS80C390 variants, Freescale (formerly Motorola) HC08 based (hc08, s08), Zilog Z80 based MCUs (z80, z180, gbz80, Rabbit 2000/3000, Rabbit 3000A, TLCS-90), Padauk (pdk14, pdk15) and STMicroelectronics STM8. Work is in progress on supporting the Padauk pdk13 target; Microchip PIC16 and PIC18 targets are unmaintained. SDCC can be retargeted for other microprocessors.

SDCC suite is a collection of several components derived from different sources with different FOSS licenses. SDCC compiler suite include:

• sdas and sdld, a retargettable assembler and linker, based on ASXXXX, written by Alan Baldwin; (GPL).
• sdcpppreprocessor, based on GCC cpp; (GPL).
• ucsimsimulators, originally written by Daniel Drotos; (GPL).
• sdcdbsource level debugger, originally written by Sandeep Dutta; (GPL).
• sdbinutilslibrary archive utilities, including sdar, sdranlib and sdnm, derived from GNU Binutils; (GPL)
• SDCC run-time libraries; (GPL+LE). Pic device libraries and header files are derived from Microchip header (.inc) and linker script (.lkr) files. Microchip requires that 'The header files should state that they are only to be used with authentic Microchip devices' which makes them incompatible with the GPL.
• gcc-testregression tests, derived from gcc-testsuite; (no license explicitely specified, but since it is a part of GCC is probably GPL licensed)
• packihx; (public domain)
• makebin; (zlib/libpng License)
• sdccC compiler, originally written by Sandeep Dutta; (GPL). Some of the features include:
  • extensive MCU specific language extensions, allowing effective use of the underlying hardware.
  • a host of standard optimizations such as global sub expression elimination, loop optimizations (loop invariant, strength reduction of induction variables and loop reversing), constant folding and propagation, copy propagation, dead code elimination and jump tables for 'switch' statements.
  • MCU specific optimizations, including a global register allocator.
  • adaptable MCU specific backend that should be well suited for other 8 bit MCUs
  • independent rule based peep hole optimizer.
  • a full range of data types: char (8 bits, 1 byte), short (16 bits, 2 bytes), int (16 bits, 2 bytes), long (32 bit, 4 bytes), long long (64 bit, 8 bytes), float (4 byte IEEE) and _Bool/bool.
  • the ability to add inline assembler code anywhere in a function.
  • the ability to report on the complexity of a function to help decide what should be re-written in assembler.
  • a good selection of automated regression tests.

SDCC was originally written by Sandeep Dutta and released under a GPL license. Since its initial release there have been numerous bug fixes and improvements. As of December 1999, the code was moved to SourceForge where all the 'users turned developers' can access the same source tree. SDCC is constantly being updated with all the users' and developers' input.

News

You can download the release from:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/sdcc/files/

What Platforms are Supported?

Linux - x86, Microsoft Windows - x86, Microsoft Windows - x86_64 and Mac OS X are the primary, so called 'officially supported' platforms.

Gnu C Compiler Mac Download Windows 10

SDCC compiles natively on Linux and Mac OS X using gcc. Windows release and snapshot builds are made by cross compiling to mingw32 on a Linux host.

Windows 9x/NT/2000/XP/Vista/7/8 users are recommended to use Cygwin (http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/) or may try the unsupported Microsoft Visual C++ build scripts.

Downloading SDCC

See the Sourceforge download page for the last released version including source and binary packages for Linux - x86, Microsoft Windows - x86, Microsoft Windows - x86_64 and Mac OS X - ppc and i386.

Major Linux distributions take care of SDCC installation packages themselves and you will find SDCC in their repositories. Unfortunately SDCC packages included in Linux disributions are often outdated. In this case users are encouraged to compile the latest official SDCC release or a recent snapshot build by themselves or download the pre-compiled binaries from Sourceforge download page.

SDCC is known to compile from the source code also on the following platforms:

Gnu C Compiler Download Mac

• Linux - x86_64
• Linux - Alpha
• Linux - IBM Power5
• NetBSD - i386
• NetBSD - Sparc64
• FreeBSD - i386
• SUN Solaris - i386
• SUN Solaris - Sparc
• Rasbian (Debian for Raspberry Pi) - ARMv6
• Debian - ARMv7-a

SDCC is always under active development. Please consider downloading one of the snapshot builds if you have run across a bug, or if the above release is more than two months old.

The latest development source code can be accessed using Subversion. The following will fetch the latest sources:

svn checkout svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/sdcc/code/trunk/sdcc sdcc

... will create the sdcc directory in your current directory and place all downloaded code there. You can browse the Subversion repository here.

Before reporting a bug, please check your SDCC version and build date using the -v option, and be sure to include the full version string in your bug report. For example:

sdcc/bin > sdcc -v
SDCC : mcs51/gbz80/z80/avr/ds390/pic14/TININative/xa51 2.3.8 (Feb 10 2004) (UNIX)

Support for SDCC

SDCC and the included support packages come with fair amounts of documentation and examples. When they aren't enough, you can find help in the places listed below. Here is a short check list of tips to greatly improve your chances of obtaining a helpful response.

1. Attach the code you are compiling with SDCC. It should compile 'out of the box'. Snippets must compile and must include any required header files, etc. Incomplete information will hamper your chance of a timely response.
2. Specify the exact command you use to run SDCC, or attach your Makefile.
3. Specify the SDCC version (type 'sdcc -v'), your platform and operating system.
4. Provide an exact copy of any error message or incorrect output.

Please attempt to include these 4 important parts, as applicable, in all requests for support or when reporting any problems or bugs with SDCC. Though this will make your message lengthy, it will greatly improve your chance that SDCC users and developers will be able to help you. Some SDCC developers are frustrated by bug reports without code provided that they can use to reproduce and ultimately fix the problem, so please be sure to provide sample code if you are reporting a bug!
