Green Hills Optimizing Compilers

Green Hills Software has been providing optimizing C, C++/Embedded C++, Ada 95, and FORTRAN compilers to the embedded industry since 1982. During this time Green Hills Software has gained a great deal of experience in understanding the special needs of embedded systems developers and in assembling tool sets to meet those special needs.

Features
Green Hills Optimizing compilers consist of a Language-Specific Front-End, a Global Optimizer, and a Target-Specific Optimizer and Code Generator. All Green Hills Optimizing compilers use the same Global Optimizer regardless of language or target, and the same Target-Specific Optimizers and Code Generators regardless of language. Optimizations may be optionally weighted for either code speed or minimum size.

This modular approach to compiler building allows Green Hills Software to add support for new microprocessors quickly while also continuing to maintain a high degree of reliability. To date, Green Hills Software has developed optimizing compilers and related tools for 33 microprocessor architectures. Green Hills Software continues to develop compilers for today's new architectures as well, such as the Motorola's PowerQUICC III, Analog Devices' Blackfin 561, and ARM's ARM11.
