Follow-up Comment #3, bug #33716 (project avr-libc): Rather than deprecating the typedefs in pgmspace.h, I would suggest to replace them by respective macros.
The reason for this is, that those typedefs are provided as a convenience for *users*, who would like to have the simplest possible means for placing variables into the code memory (and maybe also as a basis for writing universal code which could be migrated between different AVR C compilers). I accept the fact that the progmem typedefs are broken and the developers refuse to fix them, and I accept it in the hope that the real named spaces will be available soon. Those typedefs/macros would then provide also a seamless migration path to the new way of placing/accessing such variables. Otherwise, a large amount of existing code - including examples in the documentation - will start to throw those warnings quite unnecessarily. I here repeat what I've already said in http://www.avrfreaks.net/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&p=871000#871000 Jan Waclawek _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?33716> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.nongnu.org/ _______________________________________________ AVR-libc-dev mailing list AVR-libc-dev@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/avr-libc-dev
