== Overview ==

Proprietary compilers made by Microchip for their lines of microcontrollers (PIC, dsPIC, etc.) They are divided into three categories: XC8, XC16, and XC32. The numbers correspond to the bit width of the CPU line, XC16 for 16-bit for example.

The 16-bit and 32-bit compilers are based on GCC, though crippled with license checks that disable optimizations for non-paid editions. However, due to the open source restrictions, they have to release the full code to the modified version and the crippling logic can be circumvented (completely legally).

At the time of writing, v1.70 (released March 26th 2021) was the latest version.
