after all ... PBP is not so bad ...

[Acetronics2]

Hi,

I never had the time to make compiler comparisons ...

but, today a friend of mine leaded me to :

the Goal : read a voltage and display it as a heading ( boat autopilot app. ) and use a 16F819

Result is astonishing :

Another Basiç compiler ... 2504 Words ... The ' 819 is unusable !!!
its " PRO " version ..... 1722 Words ...

PicBasicPro ... ahaaaaa ...461 Words.

Of course I can prove the test is true and honest ...

Some Comments, chaps ???

Just curious about the hardware (16F819? LCD?), etc? Would like to compare it to my favorite C compiler and assembly language just for fun (grin)...

Hi, Mike

Let's compare what can be compared ... won't you ???

those BASIC tested compilers were proud to show on their site a totally subjective " side by side comparison " ... backdraw of Humour, eh !!!

Now, i also use C ... and sometimes assembler ( under torture only ...) and know what can be obtained ...

Note also THEIR C compilers @ 90% of examples need lots more room than my favourite PBP Compiler ... @ equal result.

So, one seems to have to pay " whisles and bells " the price in bytes ... looks to be a question of compiler producer and not of language ...


Were not here to re-start a Nth Compiler war ( really boring ...) ... but to tell ( and prove ! ) PBP works not so bad ... in the end !!!

In the end ... you may choose the one you want, Mike ... nobody will criticize you.

Hi Alain,

I was genuinely interested in the application that you were trying to create. I apologize if it seemed I was embarking on a comparison war.

Kind regards, Mike

What was the "other" compiler? I have PBP, but switched my primary compiler to Proton because I was running out of room on a project. It wouldn't fit with PBP, but it would with Proton. In fact, I saved about 20% with with switch... I had room for feature creep!

Please publish your code example and name the compilers that you used. or your post leaves the reader to rely on innuendo and speculation.

If your code example is valid and the compilers are genuine versions and have been used correctly, there is nothing to gain by not mentioning the names of the compilers that you tested.

AS a moderator, you must make the effort to set a good example, when making a post on a subject that is obviously going to stor up some emotive discussion.

Furter, if your comparisoons are valid, your post could easily become the core of an article in the WIKI or even an article in the catalogue section where we advertise and promote PBPro.

Come on, you can do better, if the jobs worth doing, do it well. If you're going to promote PBPro in this way, lets see it done openly with transparency.
