Re: [avr-gcc-list] GCC Functions

Well the lights do not turn on when using the function when they do with
the simple assignment statement.  As you can see this is a very simple
test.  I could put more in the function, however, I would then have to
implement this in the main also.  I was attempting find the problem with
the simplest possible test.
