[Sdcc-user] State of the gbz80 port

[Philipp K. K. <pk...@sp...>]

Dear gbz80 users,

the gbz80 port has been unmaintained for some time, and there was no 
good simulator. This has led to some deterioration of the port, visible 
both in bugs and code size.
Recently, Lee has written a new simulator for the gbz80, and I have 
fixed some bugs and made some simple improvements to the peephole rules 
(see e.g. the graph at 
https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sdcc/wiki/Philipp%27s%20TODO%20list).
While there is still a lot more to be done to improve the gbz80 port and 
bring it to the level of the other, maintained ports, IMO current sdcc 
is probably the best that ever existed for gbz80.
I thus suggest that all gbz80 port users use current svn or a snapshot 
from the 17th of January or newer.

Philipp

P.S.: Please report all bugs or issues you encounter, maybe some can be 
fixed before the 3.2.0 release.
