I'm making headway on getting a TI34010 machine description up and running but I'm conintuing to have problems. I addeded a macro BITS_PER_CHAR at a number of strategic places where BITS_PER_UNIT was essentially wrong. I was hoping by setting BITS_PER_UNITS == 1, everything would work (I was wrong). It would seem reasonable to me that all pointer math should be done in units. The code for: char *cp; cp++ should bump cp by the appropriate number of units (not necessarily 1). Most pointer math is done via a function size_in_bytes(). I suppose a function size_in_units() would be a reasonable alternative. Any comments or better ideas? marty ARPA: leisner.henr@xerox.com GV: leisner.henr NS: martin leisner:wbst139:xerox UUCP: hplabs!arisia!leisner
