Re: C compiler supporting arbitrary bit width integral datatypes?

Hello,


Have you already been looking at CoWare Processor Designer[1], it may
give you a flexible compiler construction toolkit, simulator generator
and C-to-HDL design flow for your ASIP. As it seems that you're a
student or working for a University you may be able to purchase a
license at a very reasonable price via EuroPractice[2].


Cheers,
