Colin the Mathmo[Perl] combines the power of C with the readability of PostScript. -- Jamie Zawinski
CubeRootOfTrue@ColinTheMathmo C combines the power of assembly language with the flexibility of assembly language
mirabilos@CubeRootOfTrue @ColinTheMathmo unfortunately, C is much less flexible than asm :( and less powerful of course as well
Well, it was a joke of course, but GCC can handle this:
int fun(void)
{
int my_var = 10;
register int my_int = 15;
__asm__ __volatile__(
" lock ;\n"
" addl %1,%0 ;\n"
: "=m" (my_var)
: "ir" (my_int), "m" (my_var)
);
return my_var;
}
so ... it's not straight C ... umm, or flexible, or readable ...
@CubeRootOfTrue @ColinTheMathmo yeah, doesn’t count
