[avr-gcc-list] Jmp'ing to address / 2?

[Stuart Whelan]

Hi Folks,

I am using gcc 3.4.4 and avr-libc 1.4.4 on win32....

I have been using the CodeVision compiler for a long time, 
but have decided to port my projects to gcc-avr.

My application jumps to the bootloader on receipt of jump 
to bootloader command, but the jmp I am using seems to 
be doing strange things. I cut it done down to the 
smallest test:

main()
{
        asm volatile("jmp 0x1c00"::);
}

And compiled it with:

avr-gcc -mmcu=atmega16 -o foo.obj foo.c 

And the jmp command comes out as:
  96:   0c 94 00 0e     jmp     0x1c00 <__stack+0x17a1>

Now if I read that correctly, it is jmp'ing to 0e00, 
not 1c00.. I notice that 0e00 is 1c00/2...

When I step through this in the debugger, the program 
counter does indeed jump to 0e00, not 1c00.

Can anyone shed some light on this for me?

Kind Regards,
