What is BoostC

BoostC is our latest generation C compiler that works with PIC18, PIC16 and some PIC12 processors. BoostC was designed to rival Hi-Tech C compiler. This ANSI C compatible compiler supports features like source level debugging, signed data types, structures/unions and pointers.

The BoostC compiler can be used with the SourceBoost IDE (Integrated Development Environment), or can be integrated into Microchip MPLAB.
BoostC works under MS Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7.
