A subset of
C. The original compiler, written in
C by Ron
Cain, appeared in Dr. Dobb's Journal. James E. Hendrix
improved and extended the original compiler and published "The
Small-C Handbook". Both these compilers produced
8080
assembly code.
A Small-C compiler based on
RatC produced
6502 assembly code for the
BBC Microcomputer. It was written in Small-C
and
bootstrapped using Zorland C on an Amstrad PC1512
under
MS-DOS 3.2, then transferred onto a BBC Micro using
Kermit. The compiler can be used to cross-compile
6502
code from an
MS-DOS host, or as a
resident Small-C
compiler on a BBC Micro. It runs on
68000,
6809,
VAX,
8080, BBC Micro and
Zilog Z80.
