It deon't convert C directly into machine language, but goes through at-least 5 steps along the way, this is so that features only need to be develped once to be available for different platforms or different languages, > And that C80 compiler had a floating point lib too. > Mind you, integer was 16 bits... IIRC there's a compile-time option for size of int on some platforms. I think for AVR you can choose 8 or 16 bits.
