HiTech C compilers vs. MPLAB C compilers

[zaalzaalak]

Which of them is better in code size ?

Which of them is better in code speed?

Can Hi-Tech support all microchip libraries and source codes(peripheral lib , dsp lib, graphic lib, TCPIP  lib, ......)?

Can Hi-Tech support freeRTOS?

Please compare both and tell me what you prefer and why?

Your question is on a par with which has better Taste ale or bitter?.
Why don't you test them yourself. others maybe able to code better than you, so result when you code, will be different.

If you look here http://www.microchip.com/stellent/idcplg?IdcService=SS_GET_PAGE&nodeId=1406&dDocName=en534868
The HI-Tech C compilers will be dropped for PIC24 MCUs, dsPIC DSCs and PIC32 MCUs. I do not if this is good or bad as I have not used any PIC 16 bit MCU

I want to get the idea of other users about HiTech,because I new in it,I should select between Hitech and MPLAB C,I do not want to waste many time with try and error.

Do you mean that Hitech compilers for PIC10,12,16 and PIC18 will be stopped and discontinued?
and microchip only will provide Hitech for PIC24,dsPIC,PIC32?

Please explain more.

You got it wrong. The HI-Tech compilers for PIC10,12,16 and PIC18 will be kept. The rest dropped. If you go to the HI-Tech web site you will se that . The HI-Tech C compilers for PIC24 MCUs, dsPIC DSCs and PIC32 MCUs. Is not recommended in new designs. The storry is that MIcrochip purchased HI-Tech for about 1 year ago. And now they have chopped it up.

Please give the link that says PIC24,PIC32,dsPIC Hitech compiler will be discontinued.

With this useful information that you gave me ,I have to use MPLAB C compilers only.

Just go here and note the big red fonts. http://www.microchip.com/stellent/idcplg?IdcService=SS_GET_PAGE&nodeId=1406&dDocName=en542865 and here http://www.microchip.com/stellent/idcplg?IdcService=SS_GET_PAGE&nodeId=1406&dDocName=en542866 By adding this to the product chart in the first link I gave you. You do not have to be Sherlock Holmes. To deduce what I am saying

How can I remove the 60day limitation for evaluation versions?Is there any way?

Optimization is very important for me.

Sorry I can not help. But search for C30 in this forum. It may give you some clues.

After studying the layout of the code for the various compilers, I decided that MikroElektronika Pro for PIC was the clearest.
