Would someone who is knowledgeable of such things tell me the current status of the SDCC compiler with PIC's? And especially the 16F675, since that is what I currently need to compile an already existing C program for? I looked at the information about SDCC, but it just said that "work is progressing on PIC support," without any amplification of that statement. (I realize that I may have looked at the wrong place, but this was at sdcc.sourceforge.net, which I would consider to be a pretty good place to start). And assuming, for the sake of argument, that the answer is "they're not there yet!" then what C compiler would be suggested for compiling a C program where the target chip is a 16F675? (Preferably free, since I do not want to buy a compiler just to compile one program!)
