Re: [avr-gcc-list] Calling functions (-udivhi3) from asm ?

[Larry Barello]

.extern _udivhi3

regarding setting/clearing bits:

find and look at iomacros.inc

efficient code:

Use automatics.
switch() is really efficient
pass pointers to structs that contain your data.

In general: generate assembly listings (-S) and learn about
what the compiler is doing.  That will teach you a lot about
what works and what doesn't.  The compiler guys won't like
you doing this because then you write to the peculiarities
of the compiler, but with small parts like AVR I think that
is mandatory.

Cheers!
