[avr-gcc-list] Re: moving from PIC to AVR...

Ah ha! That was a healthy list response. Thanks everybody!

While the avrfreaks resource is very good and i've gotten an excellent start
with their windows package and examples , i was wondering if anyone knew of
any other, especially ones specific to gcc. Also, is there a nice neat .pdf
file or something like that that explains all the built in libraries and
functions, with syntax etc.?

Last night i was looking at one of the docs from atmel, and it says the best
way to make a bit variable is to use an unused IO register. But in the
datasheets, there is a note that says "the unused and the reserved registers
are not listed."  What if i use a reserved register instead of a simply
unused one; will that mess things up? Does anybody have experience with this
issue? It seems starnge to me that atmel promotes using such a hacked
method.

Thanks again for all the responses!
