Following years of success the BoostC compiler gets better!

Release date: To be confirmed

Here is a list of the enhancements over SourceBoost V6.x:

IDE

  1. Support for multiple projects in single workspace.
  2. Reworked debugger core to provide better support for complex expression evaluation.
  3. Added support for multiple plugin instances.
  4. Added support for parallel compilations (for computers that have multiple CPU cores).
  5. Added support for remote build (using buid server and client supplied in SourceBoost installation).
  6. Implemented a better mechanism to address configuration bits in source code (alternative to pragma DATA).

BoostC/BoostC++/BoostBasic

  1. Added command line option for index size for PIC18 targets - Allows arrays bigger than 256 bytes.
  2. Added support for Microchip PIC16F1x processor family.
  3. Added support for bit and bool function return types.

Linker

  1. Added support for large arrays and data objects (>256 bytes) on PIC18.

Documentation and library code

  1. Added support for string and memory routines for both 8 and 16 bit long index sizes (16bit indexes used on PIC18 when large arrays required).
