PICs are supported by the pic port of SDCC at
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/sdcc/sdcc/src/pic/
Binarys haven't been updated in a while but the PIC port is getting useful
by all accounts. It does not support the 12 bit cores, but does support the
14 bit ones.

Has any of you tried SDCC for 8051, ATMEL, Z-80, and (maybe) PIC
processors? It is at sdcc.sourceforge.net
It is an open-source and free compiler for everyone to use and learn
from. You might all notice that the PIC is not yet supported, and
probably the 14-bit PICs never will. The reason has to do with the
architecture that is not very well suited for compilers. This seems
set to change with the PIC18Fxxx family, which is catching up with
post 2000 requirements (finally!!)...
Now, having mentioned SDCC, I have to say that I don't use it. I
prefer JAL. The reasons being its simple syntax and the almost
immediate support from all of you out there and Wouter himself!
Thanks again to all those who have helped in the past months!
Now, although having native support for all the PIC hardware would be
nice, I believe that it is a complicated task, especially because the
hardware registers are all the time changing place for every PIC
family. Having library sets for each family, stored in different
folders would be a good compromise. C has all its 'native' functions
declared in libraries, by the way.
Maybe it's time we got working on a strings.jal library, to challenge
C's strings.lib!
Hopefully you'll remain a Jallien, Lasse. Probably everyone will
agree that your contributions would be missed!
Cheers!
Edwin
PS. Have you noticed that Stef Mientki had written a library for
log, and some trigonometric functions? I've never used them, but
they are there for everyone to use...
