TIPS
\layout Standard
Use the smallest data type to represent your data-value.
If it is known in advance that the value is going to be less than 256 then
use an 'unsigned char' instead of a 'short' or 'int'.
+ Please note, that ANSI C requires both signed and unsigned chars to be
+ promoted to 'signed int' before doing any operation.
+ This promotion can be omitted, if the result is the same.
+ The effect of the promotion rules together with the sign-extension is often
+ supprising:
