= Coding Tips = == Preprocessor defines, macros, inline functions == * Prefer using {{{enum}}} instead of preprocessor defines for constants * Preprocessor defines are only necessary when you are using the constant both in C and assembly sources * Prefer using static inline functions instead of preprocessor macros * Preprocessor macros are only needed (a) for type polymorphism, (b) if the result needs to be an l-value (R/W accessor) * Prefer using regular functions to static inline functions * Practically never needed, it is just premature optimization
