 rather simple C-compilers. It would be much more interesting to use code from a
n actual "typical" project. I might do something like that during the summer. Th
e code below compiled by CC5X for a 16C67 device resulted in 238 instructions an
d 13 RAM bytes. How much code does your compiler generate for the same code? Of
course, in a real project I would probably use a look-up table instead of a case
 structure. (CC5X has a skip() instructions that automatically generates checked
 look-up tables.)

<lots of code snipped>

I am hoping someone else will run this through MPC.
I haven't the time. It will be interesting....
