Bob, You've never talked to C++ or C# programmers then. They even wanted to convince me that using templates generates even more efficient code... When one of them was talking about try..catch as the fastest way of handling errors I show him the disassembled code... the funny thing he changed the way of how to convince me that assembly is slow and evil :-) Tamas On Wed, Mar 5, 2008 at 3:55 PM, Bob Axtell wrote: > Walter Banks wrote: > > > > We make sure that any asm program can be written in equal or less space > > in a HLL language before each compiler release.
