Re: HCS12 Compiler warning

Ok, that makes sense, thanks.  The warning does disappear if I do this:
var = (char)(var / 2);

But if it's the constant 2 that's causing the promotion, shouldn't this
also compile warning free (which it doesn't):
var = var / (char)2

I see that the HCS12 has no 8 bit divide assembly instruction.  So in
some
sense I guess it gets promoted to 16 bit no matter what.  Is that why
that line still produces the warning?
