I always thought that the Zilog mnemonics were better than Intel's. I learned Intel first, but immediately recognized that Zilog's were better once I became aware of them.
The only C compiler I had on CP/M was BDS C. It was fairly limited and had no floating point support whatsoever. Maybe that's the one you're thinking of?
- yuubi 7y agoThis one was called Aztec and Manx C, depending on what part you looked at. It lacked bit field struct members and I think a couple of other features but don't remember now. I learned Zilog first and agree with you. I had to keep an 8080 manual handy for a while to make any sense out of that compiler output. Good(?) times.
- anonymousiam 7y agoI used Aztec C for the 68k on some embedded projects for work in the late 80's. The 68k version was a full-featured C implementation complete with IEEE-754 floating-point math and bit fields. I liked the fact that Aztec included the source code for parts of their libraries so one could write their own drivers for stdio devices. I still have that code somewhere...
