Tell me the link to read. They say nothing. Have you even used the inline
assembler before? Judging by your flawed thinking patterns, I think
have you fail to do as such. The inline implementation is nothing short
of attrocious.
a) You can't understand it
b) you can't write fluently in it
c) it's extremely non-portable
d) it would be easier to add intel asm support
How could any of that be "advanced" about that - oh - it can optimise
inline assembly. That's just great. If i wanted the compiler to do that
then i'd just write in plain C code.
