I got impressed with the generated code and temporary
variables handling CC5X does. I compared with another
one that is well accepted and has a demo to download.
They have a www page comparing them with another
compiler and I compiled the source from the page. Yes, I
had to simplify some constructions since CC5X is not
ANSI C though I got better results.
I always manage to have it coding as I would code in
assembly but spaguetti code. At www.bknd.com they
have a free version for up to 1K code that you may try.
