A 24-bit integer is not supported by the C language. In theory, support could be added to GCC, but then it would be considered an extension to the C language. And it would also be difficult and/or time-consuming to add to GCC. But personally, I would like to see support added for 24-bit integer types as the AVR port could really use 24-bit pointers for larger devices (ATmega256x, avr6 architecture). _______________________________________________ AVR-GCC-list mailing list AVR-GCC-list@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/avr-gcc-list
