I have a request for a compile line option for gcc. I hope this is a
good place to put it...
I'd like to request an option to disable the promotion of chars (signed
and unsigned) to ints when doing arithmetic calculations on them. I
realize this is non-ANSI standard, but it would be particularly valuable
when working with 8-bit processors such as the AVR. (Ie., big speed
boost and code size reduction).
Thanks.
