Don't know about ICC. There are small, struggling compiler publishers out there that specialize in embedded systems. We need to give them an opportunity to compete on these projects too.

Some of the other companies, that used to be focused on Ada, have not seemed to demonstrate much more than token commitment in recent times. They apparently have "other fish to fry." Richard Riehle
