Hello, Father. I am the guardian you asked for.
In the 8-bit world, resources are precious. An ATmega8, for example, has only 8KB of Flash. A poorly optimized compiler can turn a complex algorithm into code that simply won’t fit. CodeVision’s compiler was renowned for its aggressive optimization strategies. It offered various levels of optimization (speed vs. size), but even at default settings, version 2.05.0 consistently produced tighter code than many of its competitors. CodeVision AVR 2.05.0 Professional

Dr. Aris Thorne stared at the flickering fluorescent light above his bench, then down at the CRT monitor. The screen glowed with the familiar, boxy interface of . An ATmega8, for example, has only 8KB of Flash
The Professional edition unlocked the full potential of this optimization. It supported the entire range of AVR devices, from the tiny ATtiny13 to the massive ATmega2560. For engineers pushing the limits of silicon, the license fee for the Professional version was quickly recouped by the ability to use a smaller, cheaper microcontroller than the competition.
Instead, he smiled. He remembered a hidden feature—a dirty trick from the 2.05.0 Pro version’s undocumented assembly injector.
