[En-Nut-Discussion] Byte select macros

[Ulrich Prinz]

My opinion?


Add a separate header file for these macros -> Who wants them can use them.


As they are macros, they don't cost any memory if not used. In some cases they save memory if used. In other cases they don't harm.
These Macros will make cross development more easy, they rise compiler independency and in some cases give a better code readability.


So I'd like to see them in Nut/OS.


Best Regards
Ulrich

Providing some macros makes us independant from the grace of compiler
optimization ...
