p.s.: Of course, that doesn't apply to the case where the underlying implementation can be based on __builtin_avr_delay_cycles, but we have to remain compatible with environments where the compiler doesn't offer this (after all, it's not even in the official GCC sources yet, AFAIK). -- cheers, J"org .-.-. --... ...-- -.. .
