The '''Small Device C Compiler''' ('''SDCC''') is a [[free-software]], partially [[Retargetable compiler|retargetable]]<ref>Rainer Leupers, Peter Marwedel: "Retargetable Compiler Technology for Embedded Systems: Tools and Applications", page 126. Springer, 2001</ref> [[C (programming language)|C]] [[compiler]] for 8-bit [[microcontroller]]s. It is distributed under the [[GNU General Public License]]. The package also contains an [[assembly language|assembler]], [[Linker (computing)|linker]], [[simulator]] and [[debugger]]. SDCC is a popular open-source C compiler for microcontrollers compatible with [[Intel 8051|Intel 8051/MCS-51]].<ref>

This is unquestionably the poor man's choice of 8051 C compilers, ... in any case, sdcc is perfectly adequate for hobbyist, low-volume and/or educational projects."
