That is true

I did not quite follow what you wrote ... but extrapolating
that you were offering ((unsigned char *)&add)[0] as a better
alternative, shouldn't that be *((unsigned char *)&add)[0]?

Also SDCC/PIC generates poor code for pointers ...especially
for generic pointers, so *((__data unsigned char *)&add)[0]
could potentially be better. Don't know how well the
optimizer would optimize any of above but I do know that
access to global variables/arrays with constant indexes
and struct members with are handled reasonably optimized.

I don't have SDCC at hand right now to check any of this
with the compiler, so this is all speculation from my part.
