Does anyone know the reasoning behind tip # 7 from: http://mspgcc.sourceforge.net/manual/c1408.html
7. Use int instead of char or unsigned char if you want an 8 bit integer. This is confusing to me because an int is supposedly 16 bits (http://mspgcc.sourceforge.net/manual/x987.html). Why is it not a good idea to use chars for small ints? Thanks, Kevin
