cc65 is based on a C compiler that was initially adapted for the Atari 8bit computers. The original C compiler is a Small C descendant but has several extensions, and some of the limits of the original Small C compiler are gone.

The complete package consists of the compiler, an assembler, a librarian, a linker, and a C library for the Atari. There are some packages on the net that claim to be adapted as a crosscompiler for DOS or Unix, but was not able to get them working correctly.

The compiler is almost ISO C compatible, so you should be able to translate many sources from other systems.

There may be other target system dependent limitations. One example is file I/O, which is not implemented on all platforms. This is no technical limitation (as with the stuff mentioned above) but does just mean that no one cared enough to write the actual code.

The compiler is only one of the tools available in this package. The assembler suite (assembl...
