Re: [avr-gcc-list] Extremly confusing behaviour... (more detailedexplanation of error, believe me its not a volatile thing)

Actually its returning an int32_t.  Here is the function declaration for
your refrence:

int32_t srf08_read(uint8_t address, uint8_t reg, uint8_t *data, int32_t
len);

I guess you could say thats a string of bytes, but I would expect the
compiler to treat an int32_t as a 32bit quantity when I am using it in a
comparison...  The LSB of the value is definately correct (I am writing
it to PORTB), and in srf08_read I have a printf just before it returns
that prints the value.  It prints what I expect it to.
