However, I consider it unconscionable to ask one's client to buy an MCU with 64KB of code space on-chip when, with a little extra effort, the code size could fit in 32 KB, as is often the case when one uses a HLL and the associated libraries. Andy Peters said:
And do you really have any evidence that "most coders" do this? Do you even have any evidence that a decent coder using decent tools would observe such a vast size reduction simply by switching from 'C' to assembler? And how many orders of magnitude longer would it take to not just write that code in assembler, but to scrutinise each line in the infinitessimal detail that would be required to achieve such a reduction? |
