1. Compiler Advisor
Note: This content is also in the "MPLAB X IDE User’s Guide" (DS-50002027).
Compiler Advisor displays a graphical comparison of sets, with carefully selected available compiler optimizations
using project code.
Figure 1-1. Compiler Advisor Example
This MPLAB X IDE plug-in can be useful in:
• Providing information on available compiler optimizations for each compiler type (XC8, XC16, XC32).
• Demonstrating the advantages each optimization provides for a project in an easy-to-read, graphical form for
program and data memory size.
• Saving desired configurations.
• Providing links to optimization definitions for each configuration.
Compiler Support
Supported compiler versions:
• MPLAB XC8 v2.30 and later
• MPLAB XC16 v1.26 and later
• MPLAB XC32 v3.01 and later
No license is required for use. However, the number of optimizations for a free compiler will be less than for a
licensed compiler.
MPLAB X IDE and Device Support
All devices supported in MPLAB X IDE will be supported in Compiler Advisor. Updated Device Family Packs (DFPs)
will add device support.
