Re: [AVR-Chat] WinAVR Manual
2005-07-17 by Mark Nowell
Chuck FWIW I've managed to get up and running with WinAVR without consulting any of the general gcc documentation. The avr-libc document is well organised, e.g. click on "signals and interrupts" to find everything you need to know about SIGNAL. It's also admirably concise compared with other compiler documentation I've tried to wade through - you can reasonably browse through the whole thing in a couple of hours and build that critical mass of knowledge you're looking for. The last time I looked at gcc documentation was probably 15-20 years ago - I'm not in a hurry to go back. Mark ----- Original Message -----
