#154342 - if you are not , why are you even here
Responding to: ???'s previous message
In the latter case, you wouldn't be concerned by optimality of the result.
if you are not , why are you even here?

Jan, I know you are 'concerned', so the title is by no means directed at you.

treat the '51 C as a comfortable macroassembler, rather than a high level language
I would not by any means agree with that. The fact that C is a high level language does not relieve a person from being a programmer rather than a coder. This, of course is far more important for small micros that for a 2GHz PC, but even in that case you see results of exteremly inefficient code. That you write efficient C does not mean that you do not use a high level language, the replacement of my 'sample' line is as much C as the 'sample line' is.
