Hi Sarma,
Certainly well written assembly code should use less space than assembly generated by a high level compiler, it all boils down to cost. If you live where the cost of living is very low and software engineers are paid little, assembly may be the correct path. If you live where everything costs way too much and software engineers start out at $50,000 and go way up from there, it becomes very difficult to recover that cost by saving $0.15 on the wholesale cost of the PIC. One other consideration in both instances, if the engineer uses the high level compiler, the time saved will be used to engineer more products. So IMHO, the way to achieve best overall results is High Level compiler WITH assembly assists, I E . . . Darrels Instant interrupts for example. As for your comments . . . Your comments are welcome here. We all benefit by sharing our Ideas and opinions, and we can keep them after sharing or adopt new ones, I believe it was Albert Einstein who said, " all knowledge is trial and error", which is to say the things you are taught are the result of somebody's mistakes.
