65816 C compiler ?

I was just wondering if an efficient 65816 C compiler was available somewhere. The only one I found is not freeware and comes from Western Design Center. The ProSDK suite (including C Compiler w/ Optimizer, Assembler, Linker, Debugger, Libraries) from WDC is sold $395 (http://www.westerndesigncenter.com/wdc/tools.cfm). Maybe a cracked version somewhere ? ;-D

Did someone ever use it ?

Do you know an alternative ? (running under WinXP)

EDIT: sorry, you are searching for C compiler, not assembler

You could try a SNES assembler, e.g.

There is LCC for 65816. I once had the version Jolz used for his jOS (which later became WINGS). The only version I found right now is this one:

http://6502.org/tools/lang/lcc-1.9-retargetable.tar.gz

But you better look a bit further, I think the WINGS version had some more patches...

devia: no, the assembler does, but the c-compiler doesnt

ahh.. i c.. or rather i don't ;-)

..upon closer inspection it appears the 65816 support is only listed as an asm option.. my bad.
I guess nobody feels like updating the C compiler :)

There are a few pieces of hardware for the C64 that use 65816

I thought that LCC was Wings programming oriented... I might give it a try (but if Groepaz says it isn't really worth...;-D). I have read a bit the documentation of some tools from the ProDSK suite of WDC. The C compiler and the other tools: assembler, simulator, optimizer... "seem" really powerful (http://www.westerndesigncenter.com/wdc/documentation/816cc.pdf). Erm, I was thinking about maybe purchasing the complete suite...
Why am I interested in a C compiler ? because I have never been more productive in coding than when I was coding years ago on PC, mixing C (for logic) and assembly (for gfx stuffs). Mixing C & asm on a "basic" C64 isn't really envisageable but on the SuperCPU platform I think it might give good results. Though I wonder if the execution environment built by a C compiler is not too heavy to achieve quality stuffs even at 20Mhz...
I have been working on a SuperCPU game engine for 4-5 years now and development goes too slowly. I have good ideas for it and if only the needed routines were in pure asm it would really speed up the things...
The Slang language (http://www.ffd2.com/fridge/slang/) by Steve Judd could be a good alternative to let's say : C, but it only produces 6502 code...
