Re: [avr-gcc-list] AVR-GCC question

[Jeff Epler]

I understand what you're getting at, but at least one of your problems
can be solved by gcc today.  This works (well, I tested on x86 linux
only) and doesn't seem to require any compiler extensions:
#include <limits.h>
#define MAX_SIGNED(x) (double)((1ull<<(CHAR_BIT * sizeof(x) - 1))-1)

Using this macro, though, the signed char -128 goes to a value below
-1.0.  I think that's the same thing your code did.
