Hi!
This is very technical, but:
does the declaration of an
"extern inline const void" function really make sense? GCC accepts it, but
that is a VERY lenient compiler.
An extern function should be definition not have a definition, and 'const void'
gives a warning since const is not really applicable to void -- it lacks any
meaning.
I have found this idiom in many of the header files.
I also find it in slightly bad taste to have assembler in inline assembly
instead of as separate files. This makes it a bit harder to port the code to a
new compiler :(

So, if you compile without optimization, it acts like "extern void (...) (24 years ago, 18-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
