About Propeller C
PropellerGCC is an open-source C/C++ compiler for the Propeller P8X32A multicore microcontroller. It is an ANSI-C C89 and C99 compliant with very few exceptions. Its libraries include propeller.h (which also includes cog.h) to accomodate the multicore Propeller architecture, as well as many Standard C Libraries; the complete library reference is available here.
Since some standard libraries (such as stdio.h) are very large, the Propeller C Learning System includes custom non-standard Simple Libraries (see below) that use far less memory and also provide features to support microcontroller I/O tasks. See the PropellerGCC FAQ for more information about PropellerGCC and memory usage.
