> The AVR back-end really needs improvement: Oh, I certainly wouldn't deny that. :-) Yes, the tendency to handle far too many items as 16 bits (the sizeof(int) on that machine) when 8 bits would suffice is one of the major issues the AVR-GCC users have with the compiler. If we could really find someone to improve that, we'd probably even catch up with the rather famous IAR compiler (that right now generates about 10...20 % tighter code, at a price of some four-digit USDs per license...). -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=30908
