[Sdcc-user] 8051 code status??

[Jan V. B. <Jan...@al...>]

Hello all,

I've not been using 8051s or related microcontrollers for a
while now. 
Last time I really used SDCC was for my thesis, and
unfortunately it didn't work
because of the stack size produced by SDCC.

(for 1 unit, I could use the internal stack, but the
combination of 2 units 
required a stack in external dataspace. My project had 5
units ... ;-) )

So my question: are there still efforts to optimize the 8051
part of SDCC?
I see that the current release is still the one I've used.
The messages I've seen 
through this list were mainly about new ports.

I am not telling SDCC is a bad compiler (I know these
reactions or toughts will rise),
for the 8051 it only has a big stack use...

Kind regards,

Jan
