It was thus said that the Great Tony Duell once stated:
I'm not sure I follow you here. In C, you can indeed do a
sizeof(unsigned short)
and get back the size (in characters) of a short int (with the size in bits
of a character defined by CHAR_BIT).
As a
digression, normally, assuming programming in C, you'd place a
"unsigned short" variable at the address of the SPI data register. (I'll
AFAIK sizeof(unsigned short) is not defined anywhere :-). > have none of that uncivilized
"uint32_t" bullshit that these kids have

Well, that "uint32_t" crap is *very* useful for networking protocols or
binary file parsing.
-spc (I use uint32_t at work, but then again, I have to deal with network
protocols and binary file formats ... )
