C Compiler for Commodore 64/128

[BenjaminLumen]

Is there a C Compiler for the Commodore 64/128??
If there is then you can probably find a moderator for the Commodore 8 bit programming forum from that.

I know the original post wasn't really asking for the information...but since it may benefit other coders out there I'll answer:

cc65 8-bit compiler suite -- http://www.cc65.org/

While the code seems most complete for the Commodore series of computers, the compiler also targets Apple II, Atari, and other 8-bit computers. It is based on the Small C compiler and has evolved into a very powerful toolchain.

Did anyone tried the cc65 compiler? Did it work?
Don't want to kill my machine… :-/

I have been trying to use the Power C compiler in the Vice emulator. However, there are some problems. Is anybody else doing this? For one thing it is difficult to make the "{" character on my laptop. I have to push simultaneously the shift, +, and 8 keys and then you get some + and * characters but finally the {. Also I can't seem to make bit manipulations. Like: if(y & 0x40).

Hi,

For me Shift and "-" (minus) and Shift and "+" keys (the two adjacent keys to the backspace key) are bringing up the opening and closing braces in the editor:
(without any additional keypresses, I've tried it on a notebook and a PC keyboard as well)

Also I can't seem to make bit manipulations.

CC65 conform's to what type of C ? K&R????

I know Unix V, 'vi and cc' all Logical Operators are double.. An 'AND' '&" is actually '*&&' ... Is CC65 the same, it's been 5 years from my original post and I still don't know...

Let me see if I can find a CC65 Book...

Funny, Internet slowed to a fraction's of a byte a second over a 5 year long conversation on Commodore.CA..

let's see

although CC65 originated from an Atari 8-bit platform, so perhaps the Atari Documentation will help??
