Talk:Small Device C Compiler

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Why re-creating the article

I know this article has been deleted before. But I believe there are strong reasons to recreate it:

• Small Device C Compiler is included in Debian starting from 2002, and FreeBSD starting from 2004.

• It has good statistics on SourceForge (highest rank is 41 at Aug 2006, stable 6000 downloads per month).

• It is mentioned in 5 books according to Google Books, and has about 70 hits on Google Scholar.

• It is the only open source C compiler for popular Microchip PIC16 and 8051 microcontrollers.

And a final note: I am recreating the article from scratch.

I suspect that whomever nominated it for deletion before will do the same again. The best defense against this will be to add a lot more information than there is now. Val42 03:37, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Of course, it should be expanded (that's why it's software-stub). But as far I understand it, bad quality of the article was one of the reasons for its deletion. So be careful! --Alsh 06:42, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
