Microchip's Omniscient Code Generation

A world class provider of development tools for embedded systems, best known for its high-performance ANSI C compilers featuring the optimizing, whole-program compilation technology, Omniscient Code Generation, HI-TECH Software is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Microchip Technology. As featured in the EDN Hot 100 Products of 2007, HI-TECH C PRO compilers enabled with Omniscient Code Generation (OCG), a wholeprogram compilation technology, to facilitate more intelligent, state-of-the-art code generation and enhance product usability. Omniscient Code Generation has been developed to read and process all C source modules in one step and can deliver denser code, improve RAM utilization and reduce interrupt latency, saving you time, space, power and money.

Rather than relying completely on the linker to uncover errors in independently compiled modules, an OCG compiler completes the initial stages of compilation for each module separately, but defers object code generation until the point at which a view of the whole program is available. Information gathered from a global view of the program, can be used to provide better detection of potential errors in the users code, and to better optimize the output.

Freeware
HI-TECH C PRO compilers can also be operated in Lite mode with no memory restrictions or time limits. It supports all devices, however OCG optimizations are not available. HI-TECH Software has provided this freeware compiler, HI-TECH C PRO compilers in Lite mode, as a low-cost tool for hobbyists and students, however the license allows its use for commercial purposes as well. It is ideal as a teaching tool for an introduction to the C language and embedded programming.

Denser Code, Better Performance

Eliminate Bloated Code


Unused Variables. The all-seeing nature of OCG enables the compiler to determine if a variable is being used in the program.
Unused variables are removed, thus saving RAM.

Auto Variables. If two functions are never active at the same time, their auto variables can be overlapped. The function call graph that OCG constructs means that the exact usage of the functions is known and this technique can be effectively applied. Registers. The compiler will also know exactly which registers are in both interrupt and mainline context, so it can generate
code accordingly, minimizing both the code size and cycles required to switch contexts.

Automatic Bank Management. OCG allows automatic allocation of data into RAM banks eliminating the need for the programmer to specify the location of the variables. Customized printf. OCG has the ability to generate a printffunction that is customized for the program at hand. It does
this by scanning the users code and only includes those features of printf that were detected. This results in a huge saving in program memory but also saves you valuable RAM space.

Focus More on Your Goals and Less on Your Code

Save Time and Effort


Operation. Most embedded C compilers require special
linker scripts and numerouscommand line options to be used to cater for differing device architectures. With full knowledge of the device and the ability to determine where all objects will be linked, much of this work is reduced or eliminated with HI-TECH C PRO compilers.

Debugging with Optimizations. Since a lot more of the


optimizations are performed at the C level, rather than at the assembly or linker level, HI-TECH C PRO compilers allows more comprehensive debugging of code, even with the optimizations turned on. As a rule, code compiled with full optimization can be difficult or impossible to debug, making it very difficult to identify bugs that may be causing the system to function incorrectly. The OCG compiler automatically preserves all the relationships between the object code and the original C-code, enabling the quick and simple debugging of optimized code. Even C library code in your project can be debugged at the source level.

Eliminates the Need for Memory Space Qualifiers.


Because the compiler knows how frequently each variable is used and which variables are dependent, it can optimize pointers and position objects in the most efficient memory spaces, eliminating the need for the programmer to do this manually with non-standard C language extensions.
