Overview

What is Cc65?

6502 cross compiler

In depth

A closer look at Cc65

CC65, a C crosscompiler / crossassembler combo for 6502 systems.

compiler features:

* Includes a C compiler, macro assembler, archiver and linker. The assembler generates relocatable object files, the linker is very configurable and allows overlays, ROMable code, splitted output and much more.

* The compiler is not quite ISO compatible, however, a large subset is supported.

* Supported target systems are:

- C64
- C128
- C16, C116, Plus/4
- CBM 600/700 family (programs run in bank 1)
- Newer PET machines (not 2001)

For all these systems a precompiled runtime and C library is available. Supporting more targets is not very difficult since the C library was written with portability in mind.

* Several system specific support routines like a conio library or modules for joystick access are available.

* The assembler and linker do also support the 65816 as a target, however, the compiler is not able to generate code for this CPU and there is no RTL support.

* Lots of docs and a few sample programs included.

* Easy interfacing between C code and assembler.

* Fullscreen debugger for most machines as a linkable module.

* Full sourcecode available as well as binaries for :
- Linux (RedHat 5.x RPM)
- Linux (SuSE 5.x RPM - I don't have access to a SuSE 6.0 box, sorry).
- OS/2
- DOS
- Windows 95/98/NT
