Master and Command C for PIC MCUs by Fred Eady

Master and Command C for PIC MCU,Volume 1

aims to help readers get the most out of the Custom Computer Services C compiler for PIC microcontrollers.

The author describes some basic compiler operations that will help programmers particularly those new to the craft create solid code that lends itself to easy debugging and testing. As Eady notes in his preface, a single built-in CCS compiler call (output_bit) can serve as a basic aid to let programmers know about the "health" of their PIC code.
