tmk_core/common: Improve code generation for TIMER_DIFF* macros
Because of integer promotion the compiler is having a hard time generating efficient code to calculate TIMER_DIFF* macros in some situations. In the below example, the return value is "int", and this is causing the trouble. Example C code: int __attribute__ ((noinline)) test(uint8_t current_timer, uint8_t start_timer) { return TIMER_DIFF_8(current_timer, start_timer); } BEFORE: (with -Os) 00004c40 <test>: 4c40: 28 2f mov r18, r24 4c42: 30 e0 ldi r19, 0x00 ; 0 4c44: 46 2f mov r20, r22 4c46: 50 e0 ldi r21, 0x00 ; 0 4c48: 86 17 cp r24, r22 4c4a: 20 f0 brcs .+8 ; 0x4c54 <test+0x14> 4c4c: c9 01 movw r24, r18 4c4e: 84 1b sub r24, r20 4c50: 95 0b sbc r25, r21 4c52: 08 95 ret 4c54: c9 01 movw r24, r18 4c56: 84 1b sub r24, r20 4c58: 95 0b sbc r25, r21 4c5a: 93 95 inc r25 4c5c: 08 95 ret AFTER: (with -Os) 00004c40 <test>: 4c40: 86 1b sub r24, r22 4c42: 90 e0 ldi r25, 0x00 ; 0 4c44: 08 95 ret Note: the example is showing -Os but improvements can be seen at all optimization levels, including -O0. We never use -O0, but I tested it to make sure that no extra code is generated in that case.OA
