There's no problem with those parts that adhere to the (C89/99) standard. The only issue is about those couple of functions that go beyond. I tend to agree with Mike, and accept them as they are. > We should not have to create a configuration switch --without-time, > because that also implies we should create a configuration switch > for every single API grouping in avr-libc; that's just ridiculous. In particular, it would require users to recompile/reinstall the library. If at all, the "offending" extensions could be made invisible by some preprocessor macro, like __AVR_DISABLE_TIME_EXTENSIONS__. OTOH, users have been living without <time.h> (and the respective library functions) for many years, so now that it's there, it's probably reasonable to expect them to accept it the way it is, including the extensions. -- cheers, Joerg .-.-. --... ...-- -.. .
