Re: [avr-gcc-list] What Happened to the sbi() and cbi() Macros????

Hi,

Driver_car(Nos) > Driver_formual_cars(Nos) and still the Driver_car(Nos) who do 
not turn on the indicator while turning is large :-(

I think the same applies to any tool chain (free or not free);

Like Joerg Wunsch says "in the end I think everyone should rather see this as a 
chance to improve their level of abstraction, and instead of blindly replacing 
cbi/sbi by another macro of the same function,..."

"Level" is itself Very "abstract" in itself. I guess in Time and Space Domain 
"an up can be a down". Its basically a point of reference, for a newbie; it 
could be a Down, Still the rest of the world would say its a UP.

I agree one must move with time, But the question is can you keep the pace?

If a tool chain move fast, it would help if there are Documentation for " the 
backwards compatibility issue"
