Something I always found amusing/depressing is that some compilers generate smaller code for ++i than i++ everything being equal. Then other compilers generate smaller code for i++ than ++i. So in the embedded space you have to know what your tools are doing. Sadly it should not be this way. avr-gcc generates the same size code in any case that I've looked at. _______________________________________________ AVR-GCC-list mailing list AVR-GCC-list@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/avr-gcc-list
