while working on a program i faced a problem.
i need only 20 bit , and having a 32 bit only waste more memory(12 byte),
24bit would much be better.
i need a uint24_t variable but gcc dont support it so i have to start with
uint32_t.
it would be very nice if gcc support such variables.
i tried a little program and found that gcc (on i686) dont support it.
