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)

Slang does produce 65816 code, although it only uses a small part of its power. The main code will have to be in the lower 64k, but you can keep data structures in SuperRAM through the user of @-arrays:

ubyte level(64,64)@$040000

would declare a 64x64 array in bank 4.

Also, both Slang and cc65 let you mix high level code with 65816 assembler routines. It's easy enough to make a library of 65816 routines that are accessible from C.

Looks like it is free now. I guess they wouldn't sell much of it anyway, because for many other CPUs a C compiler is free as well.
