Microchip C18 C Compiler User Manual
This guide provides a detailed overview of the MPLAB® C18 C compiler, covering its purpose, how to invoke it, and the options for generating output files, displaying diagnostics, defining macros, and selecting processors and modes.
It also describes the language syntax, runtime model for PIC18 PICmicro® devices, optimization techniques, and includes several application examples. Appendices cover the COFF file format, ANSI compliance, command‑line options, diagnostics, and extended mode details. This manual is written in Chinese.
