There is an entire industry that does pretty much that... today. They might run in flash instead of RAM, but still, a few kilobytes.
Probably there are more embedded devices out there than PCs. PIC, AVR, MSP, ARM, custom archs. There might be one of those right now under your hand, in that thing you use to move the cursor.
- krisoft 2y ago> There is an entire industry that does pretty much that... today. Which industry runs C compilers on embeded devices? Because that is what the part you elipsised out was talking about.
- scoutt 2y agoOh... yes. You are right. My bad.
- sitzkrieg 2y agomany do tho. i have targetted c89 and maybe c99 on several embedded devices
- 0xffff2 2y agoBut you're running the compiler on the device rather than cross-compile?
- vlovich123 2y agoThey cross compile. No one is compiling code on these machines.
- Narishma 2y agoI doubt you're running C compilers on those devices.
