[avr-gcc-list] Readming TCNT1 (__inw_atomic)

[Derick Schoonbee]

Hi,

Is __inw_atomic "valid" ?
...
return __inw_atomic( TCNT1L );
..

This macro does not seem to be defined in the headers of WinAVR-20030424 
from sf.net. I found it in iomacros.h of another verion on my PC but could 
not figure out if this an 'old' ver :-|

Thus my real question is:
Is "return (TCNT1L)" safe? (Guess not)
Will it clobber some registers? Or do I just need to follow the guidelines @ 
http://savannah.nongnu.org/download/avr-libc/doc/avr-libc-user-manual/FAQ.html#faq_16bitio 
?

Any other shortcuts like the one above or shall I just copy-n-past the 
define?

Regards

D.
