Source Boost C, Flowcode 3, Intermediate reference Manual?

Post by Mark »

Hi,

In getting to know the new version of C, Source Boost C, for use with Flowcode 3 I am short of a reference manual.

The files with Flowcode 3 have a reference manual "for advanced programmers" (or some similar phrase) but I am missing a manual for intermediate level use.

In principle as SB C uses the ANSI standard any C manual should do but presumably SB C must be cut down for use with PIC's?

Any suggestions ? Books, dowloads, on-line tutorials etc...

Thanks

Hello Mark,

A good starting point might be the "boostc.pdf" file that will be in the "boostc" directory (off the Flowcode directory).

Another alternative is our soon-to-be-released new version of C4PICmicros CD course. This is specifically written around BoostC and E-Blocks / the dev board.

Also, the SourceBoost website has a number of examples (although most are for the C2C compiler). Their forum can also be a good source of info.

Thanks,

Browsing the web I found the page :

http://www.mikroe.com/en/compilers/mikr ... umentation

This provides comprehensive ANSI standard manuals to a version of C for PIC's and has answered most of my questions on syntax, all be it needing adjustment for Boost C. (I am a bit envious of the large set of well documented library routines that seem to to come with microc (not a patch on flowcode though!)).

I look forward to the C4PICmicros CD course.
