Dear Albert ARIBAUD,
In message 4CF7922B.3020504@free.fr you wrote:
Now, on an unrelated note, omap3_emv's code arbitrarily uses an u8 where an int (or enum) would be more appropriate, and this should be changed not because it removes a linker warning, but because the u8 choice is arbitrary and at best as effective as using an int, at worst suboptimal to that.
Well, an u8 is as good a data type as any other. The available range of 0...255 seems more than sufficient to store the needed information, so why should I waste 4 bytes of storage when a single byte is sufficient as well?
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
