2500AD C compiler for 6502

I'm about to do another project with a Sunplus 6502-compatible microcontroller. Sunplus doesn't offer a C compiler so I've previously written assembly for them, but I'm interested in using C on this project.Avocet Systems, who now owns the 2500AD tools, says their 2500AD Compiler for 6502 (ADC-65) explicitly supports Sunplus. Here's some info on it: This is the only compiler I know of with Sunplus support. Anyone have recent experience with this development environment? I found some 1995 posts complaining about unnamed bugs and large code sizes.My goal for a C compiler is to save development time, even if it does swell the code a bit (I've got plenty of ROM). I'm trying to tell if the 2500AD compiler will help towards that goal or wind up slowing things down.Thanks,Wallace
