To compile the code, open the “Production” menu and select “Build Main Project”.
The “Output” pane should now show the build output from MPLAB X.
This includes all the command-line arguments passed to XC8 to compile the program, and all the output from the compiler..
The free XC8 compiled code took 26329 clock cycles to configure CatTrack and run an encryption routine, whereas the CCS compiled code took 31849.
So the headline so far is that CCS is 21% slower, takes up 4% more ROM and 38% more RAM than the free XC8 compiler.
Have activated a license on a previous version of MPLAB XC8.
Wish to use the free version of the compiler (some optimization features disabled).
Otherwise, choose to: Purchase a license (to receive an activation key that will unlock the Standard or Pro optimization features)..

The MPLAB XC8 compiler supports integer data types with 1, 2, 3, 4 and 8 byte widths as well as a single bit type..
MPLAB XC8 Compiler
Supports all 8-bit PIC\xae and AVR\xae MCUs.
Integrates with MPLAB X IDE to provide a full graphical front end: Editing errors and breakpoints match the corresponding lines in the source code.
Single step through C source code to inspect variables and structures at critical points..
