[avr-gcc-list] Set/clear bit?

[Pat Deegan]

Hi,

It seems sbi/cbi are deprecated
(http://www.nongnu.org/avr-libc/user-manual/group__avr__sfr.html#a6)
but couldn't find what we're supposed to use...

As a side note, I've got a register with both in and out pins (PORTD,
which is also using the UART).  I'm looking to set the upper four bits
(which are output pins) in the most efficient manner without messing
with the input pins.  If I just:

newbits = blah << 4;
PORTD =  (PORTD & 0x0F) | newbits;

will it mess with the uart or something?

Thanks,
