I'm trying to understand the intended application of the two different styles of eCos integral types
Basically how / when should I use the cyg_(u)intXX series of definitions, and how / when should I use the cyg_(u)countXX series of definitions. eg. when should I use cyg_uint8 instead of cyg_ucount8 and vice-versa? The notes surrounding the defintions in cyg_type.h say that the cyg_(u)intXX series are for use with "memory and strutures". Ok that makes sense when you look at the typedef, but.. The comments for the cyg_(u)countXX series are that they are for "using integers in registers for looping and the like" The part regarding registers confuses me, since I would have thought that a fixed width integer (aka) the cyg_(u)intXX series are the most appropriate for accessing *fixed width* registers. Can anyone add a little more ligth here?
