HI-TECH C Compiler for PIC10/12/16 MCUs version 9.83 is a legacy, high-performance ANSI C compiler designed specifically for 8-bit Microchip microcontrollers
: Implements whole-program compilation technology to optimize code density and performance across all modules simultaneously. Operating Modes : Offers the highest level of code optimization. : Implements balanced optimizations for better performance. : A free version with limited optimization features. IDE Integration : Fully integrates with the Microchip MPLAB IDE and is compatible with hardware debuggers like the MPLAB ICD 2 Microchip Technology Version 9.83 Updates
A good compiler should integrate well with IDEs (Integrated Development Environments) or at least provide a straightforward way to transfer compiled code to your development board.
