#125037 - better, don't use C at all.. :-)
Responding to: ???'s previous message
I'm still with Jez.

The RFCs are full of "be conservative in what you send and liberal in what you receive". Here: be conservative in how you use your tools (editor (-> comments), compiler) and liberal in your expectations of what they produce.

C should be treated as a HLL (although it is far from it) also in its "embedded" form. Infinite resources assumed, face it. Don't try timing, tricks with memory/peripherals etc. Do only the "routine" job in C. Then, it doesn't matter, optimized or not. And, if you don't believe in correctness of optimisations - how can you believe in the compiler compiling OK at all?
