[sdcc-devel] Philipp Krause still on the project?

[Peter P. <plp...@ya...>]

I have been reading in the mail archives about various pic14 related
ports, going back to when Borut was still contributing, alas, he is gone.

The conclusion seems to be that the pic14 port has serious problems in
code generation and variable assignment. I ended up with a single file
creating in excess of 100 public static variables all being used as locals
in called functions. The --no-overlay option does nothing (turned off, on),
and there is no --call-tree option for pic14 which suggests there is no
variable coverage analysis at all in the pic14 port. That would explain
what I see. Can someone please elaborate on these points? Philipp was
one of the people who contributed to the pic16 port at least in 2011.
Since some of these are present for the pic16 port I might take a look
and try to back port them to the pic14 port. I am not sure I can do it,
but I can try.
