Arduino word function used in typedef

[NevynUK]

The Arduino web site defines word() as a function for casting bytes to a word.

This port has word defined as typedef unsigned int word on line 120 of Arduino.h.

This is breaking the Sparkfun TSL2561 libraray code.

hmm... thanks for noticing this! I really wonder how that define got there, especially since the correct methods are implemented :)

[hcs-svn]

removing "typedef unsigned int word;" breaks a lot of my code.
The avr core Arduino.h has both:

Line 121:
typedef unsigned int word;

and

Line 238:
uint16_t makeWord(uint16_t w);
uint16_t makeWord(byte h, byte l);
#define word(...) makeWord(VA_ARGS)

if you have both you can do:
word w = word(1, 2);
