Re: [avr-gcc-list] incorrect function prolog/epilog?

[Michal Grégr]

Thanks for reply, I'll post my next comments in appropriate threads. The reason 
I asked is that I have real hw/sw problem, it's not just my curiosity that 
makes me analyze the avr-gcc output. In short, the out instruction to SPL in 
the function epilog overwrites the EIMSK register instead of SPL and my 
suspection is that it is due to invalid processing of that out instruction 
right before an interrupt occurs and if interrupts were enabled after the SPL 
restore it would work correctly.
