Hi Johann,
Hi, just out of curiosity: Is there a special reason to add a stormy16-specific implementation instead of using the code in libgcc2.c? t-avr for example uses the C implementation in libgcc2.c for HI. Are there disadvantages?
Apart from not using some slightly frightening makefile magic ? No, no real reason. In fact the implementation in stormy16/lib2funcs.c is based directly on the code in libgcc2.c.
I prefer my current approach because if it turns out that this function is used a lot then it will easy to replace the current C implementation with hand coded assembler. But if there was a way to automate the detection of bit counting functions in libgcc2.c, so that when a new one is added we would not have to update t-avr or t-stormy16, then I would go with your approach.
Cheers Nick
