#125035 - Timing - end of wrong stick

I'm saying that if your source code relies upon the execution timing of the generated code then it is bad source code.

I think you're overstating the case, here, Erik. Lots of code is dependent on precise timing. While the UART may not work properly if you don't profide the correct oscillator frequency, some tasks may not work correctly if you don't do the same thing.

Yes - 'twas I, not Erik!

But you're missing my point: I'm talking about stuff that relies upon the execution timing of the 'C' source code.

Yes, you can program a system with precise timing in 'C'; but the timing precision has to be provided by some kind of "external" (to the 'C' source code) synchronisation - such as a hardware timer.
