Re: [avr-gcc-list] saving __zero_reg__ in interrupt

Thats why I don't see it on a 90S2313...

And they will be hard to debug....

On the other hand if one ever plans to change the register usage 
it would be a good time to do it now? 
(I'm not familiar with the release policy of gcc, but looking from
the outside: there was the avr patch to 2.95 and the next official
gcc version is not yet released. 
So it is the last chance before an official gcc with AVR goes out?)

If R0:R1 got a special meaning for the Atmel Mega series, which registers
get a special meaning next? 
Would it be save to use R2 as __zero_reg__ or rather R4 (in the hope
there will be a AVR Giga series)?
