You can still buy a Coldfire (now from NXP, after Motorola and Freescale) and I suspect it would have used that strcmp() implementation. The 68k family is not completely dead.


IIRC Texas Instruments uses 68k CPU's for their calculators. I'm pretty sure my TI Voyage 200 I've bought in highschool (15+ years ago) uses one and it's still great.


The older 9x and 89s do, yeah. The new ones just run ARM and emulate the older chips.


However NXP have Coldfire on a "Legacy MPU/MCUs" page, which doesn't exactly show them pushing for new design wins though. It's not dead, but it doesn't really have a future...
