SDCC 3.0.0 Feature List ¶
There is always a problem to create a list of new features when a new SDCC release is announced. The following list is an attempt to create such a list "on the fly". Every time a new feature which is interesting for the SDCC users is implemented, it should be added to the following list.
* sdcpp synchronized with GNU cpp 4.5.0
* changed z80 and gb targets object file extension to .rel
* special sdcc keywords which are not preceded by a double underscore are deprecated in sdcc version 3.0.0 and higher. See section ANSI-Compliance in sdccman
* xa51 and avr targets are disabled by default in sdcc version 3.0.0 and higher
* introduced new memory model huge for mcs51 to use bankswitching for all functions
* removed generation of GameBoy binary image file format, rrgb map file format and no$gmb sym file format from sdld linker. Utility makebin generates GameBoy binary image file format, utility as2gbmap utility converts sdas map file to rrgb map and no$gmb sym file formas.
* implemented __builtin_offsetof
* asxxxx / aslink renamed to sdas / sdld and synchronized with ASXXXX V2.0
* majority of sdcc run time library released under GPL+LE license (see
http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sdcc/w ... 20Licenses)
* introduced --use-non-free command line option
