I've seen this bug in 4.1.2, 4.2.0, 4.2.1, 4.2.2, 4.3.0 and 4.3.1 (and at least
with the version 4.1.2 and 4.3.0 of the avr-gcc-c++-compiler). What happens is
that when a char array gets a value assigned through a quoted string, the data
gets corrupted (or lost) in the compilation, but if it's initialized with an
array of numbers it gets the correct value. I've created a small example:
#include <avr/io.h>
int main ()
{
char a[] = ":";
char b[] = { 0x3a, 0 };
int result = 0;
if (a[0] == 0x3a) result |= 1;
if (b[0] == 0x3a) result |= 2;
DDRC = 0x0f;
PORTC = result;
return 0;
}
The expected result is of course 3 (which I get if I compile a slightly
modified program for i386) but what I get is 2. In my world that's not quite
accepted, I hope you all concur. The include file and the macros for DDRC and
PORTC doesn't matter, I've verified with dummy values that they're ok.
