Oh, I see, you want the compiler to figure stuff out for you.
Yes please :-)
Unfortunately, that won't work. You need to write the 32-bit read/modify/write instructions yourself.
Yes, that was '(b)' in my question I think. I'm just looking for a lazy way to avoid work.
There is nothing in gcc which will force it to use 32-bit memory accesses if you don't explicitly write 32-bit memory accesses.
My recollection is that if the processor doesn't have instructions for a particular width, gcc will synthesize the access. I was just hoping that there was some 'magic hack' that could activate that functionality.
Cheers, Phil.
