#187469 - one more thing
Responding to: ???'s previous message
If you do not have any fears writing efficient code at the cost of not protecting you against yourself, often much can be saved by using global variables instead of U8 GetVariable().

I think it is laughable to see what I have seen unpteen times

 void main(void)
{
HUGE_STRUCTURE

func1 (*HUGE_STRUCTURE)

}

void func1 (*struct)
{
func2 (*struct);
}


where you carry a pointer to a huge structure all over the place and claim that you do not have globals.
