Why: typedef unsigned int OS_STK;

Question

Hi,

As we know, NiosII is 32-bit processor and integrate uc/os with it.

I find the the OS_STK is defined as 16-bit data struct. But in practice, the operation relating to stack always be 32-bit.

typedef unsigned int OS_STK; /* Each stack entry is 16-bit wide*/

Could anyone tell me why?

Wish all a best christmas,

David

The comment is probably wrong... unsigned int is a 32-bit integer!  Paolo

Just curious how David was misled by the wrong size info.? What is the typedef of uC/OS-II, for David&amp;#39;s development kit.
