[avr-gcc-list] for loop problem

[Adrian Cottle]

Hi
Thanks for everyone help on the reset problem yesterday. the watchdog timer 
solution worked great.
I have another problem, not sure if its a problem with me or the conpliler.

I have the function below (well part of it) and it waits in a loop until 
the UART flag is flagged.  If i put a 100ms delay in or do something like 
send a byte to the uart it works fine, but as soon as i leave a empty for 
loop it crashed and needs resettting.
I've tryed putting just a ; in the loop and also a very small loop just 
using up a couple of clock cycles but this doesnt work either.
Its a 8515 running at 8MHz

many thanks

Adrian


int Pulse_Handler(void)
{
int i;
uart_send_byte(33);
  while(UART_Flag == 0)
  {
        msdelay(1);
 //uart_send_byte(46);
  }
  UART_Flag = 0 ;                               
  uart_send_byte(85);
