Strings include a NUL character as the string terminator. So that would be 4+1

  Subject: [msp430] Defined string with 4 characters is sizeof 4 in watch and 5 in compiled code.

  So, just out of curiosity, how can 

  sizeof(LOGGER_SERIAL_DEFAULT) 

  be both 4 (in the QuckWatch) and 5 in the compiled code (red line in disassembly) ?

  It's defined as:

  #define LOGGER_SERIAL_DEFAULT "----"

  So in my mind it should be 4 (if the compiler wanted to count the quotes it would be 6) but NEVER 5.
