Compilers

sccz80 and zsdcc

Part of Z88dk

"sccz80" is a small C derived C compiler that is nearly C90 compliant with a few notable exceptions. Emphasis is on small code.

"zsdcc" is a fork of sdcc-z80 that is an open source optimizing C compiler with C90 and elements of C99 and C11 compliance.

A Next target is present and under development. Output file types include tap, sna, and esxdos dot commands.

Calling convention notes

ZX Basic

A Basic to Z80 compiler with extensions added to Sinclair Basic.

NextBuild v7

NextBuild is a suite of tools for Windows which uses Boriel's ZX Basic Compiler. It comes with a Next library of routines

to take advantage of the Nexts hardware. Examples included.

A NextBuild dedicated Wiki section is "planned".

bas2tap utility

The utility to convert `BASIC in an ASCII file' to a TAP tape image file (can be loaded by emulator or Next as regular BASIC program).

Comes complete with portable C source. With full BASIC syntax checking!

(does not support NextBASIC extensions)

(for NextBASIC you can use the NextZXOS dot commands .txt2bas and .bas2txt directly on the Next)

txt2bas & bas2txt CLI utility

Cross platform command line tool to convert NextBASIC to +3dos .bas file and convert .bas files to plain text.

The tool also includes verbose validation, tap and 3dos, BANK compatible and headerless export and import support

ZNC Native compiler

ZNC is a language and compiler for the ZX Spectrum Next. The language is closely modeled after the C programming language.

The language suite includes the compiler, an optimizer, assembler and text editor to support native development on the Next. It also include a frontend that makes managing source files and building your projects easier.
