#93765 - portability
Responding to: ???'s previous message
A possibly less non-portable method

1) the need to make portable code is hugely overrated for small embedded systems.
2) if you port, it will never be seamless.
3) if portablility is a concern, make some #defines in a separate module (included in all modules) such as #define UNION union and use those so that, in the unlikely case you have to port, you are pointed towards the places that need be checked/changed.
4) I find portability somewhat important in ONE case: functions that have no I/O concerns.
