#153054 - There are compilers....
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Note that there are compilers out there that can virtualize serial (or embedded) EEPROM and make it look like a regular variable in the source code. IAR and BASCOM are two that come to mind.

It is a technique that I strongly discourage the use of because it totally hides the "performance price" of such usage. And particularly in code audit and design reviews this virtualization can misguide even the most expert reviewers....not something you want when later a code problem results in a death and your company faces a huge lawsuit.
