Here is a quote from Microchip:

"The MPLAB C30 C Compiler Student Edition is free! It is full-featured for
the first 60 days. After 60 days only optimization level 1 can be enabled
in the compiler. The compiler will continue to function after 60 days, but
code size may increase."

Does anyone really know what 'optimation level 1' really means? Or is this
a trick get you purchase the the full blown version? Has anyone seen a
difference after the 60 days?

Thanks,
Thomas Magma


MPLAB C30 is based on GCC. GCC has many different optimisations that can be
turned on and off individually. As well as individual optimisations you can
turn groups of optimisations on and off in one go - the groups being level
1, level 2, level 3 and level 's'. Check out the GCC documentation for the
individual optimisations that are included in level 1 group.
