what is difference between int main () and void main ()

[large_ghostman]

But!!!! C has to be ANSI standard, so it has to comply even if it doesn't need to...

Not being argumentative but you got to admit............It has to be ANSI C except for the section that tells you all the bits that are not.! So if your not 100% ANSI C (and its certainly not) Why keep the nonsense stuff like the Main() stuff?

Dunno!! Not my ruling!

Dunno!! Not my ruling!

Well I will email MC and tell them to make you CEO of the compilers!!!

Not putting up with this **** ,

ps email me a code for the pro when your CEO

As I use C on a commercial level... I has to be paid for.... About £700 I believe..

£700 !!!!!!
Is that a year?

 

[Ian Rogers]

No!! HPA is £196 a year .. The compiler is a £700 one off..

 

[large_ghostman]

Ok what is HPA?

 

[Ian Rogers]

High priority access.... In other words, subscription..

Mikro C almost looks attractive . I might go have a look at CCS, I cant remember much about it.

I have that for Pic32... The libraries on MikroE are huge... Using larger chips it seems to be a good way to go...

The SD library for instance.. Works extremely well as does the graphical libraries.. Not that I promote the use of pre-built libraries, but as I have already learned the language, hey why not!!

The big down side for me is you have to invest in a different debug tool, I am reluctant to pay for their debug tool and a compiler from them. If it worked with the ICD3 I wouldnt hesitate using the compiler, I like the IDE as well.

Just a shame they sting you on the debug tools.

ARM spoilt me, coming back to pics is a bit of a shock. Its looking like CCS or MikroC, but the debug board really puts me off.

No! you can still use MPLABX and pickit 3.. MikroE still use the 6 pin program socket.. I just made adaptors to suit!!

With that!! I did buy their debug tool as they have tons more breakpoints...

 

[large_ghostman]

So MikroE can be debugged in mplab with a PK3??? OOOO this is getting better and better
