 		 #130438 - isn't HLL supposed to hide the low level details?
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Oliver Sedlacek said:
The problem seems to me to be the same, whether you are coding in C or assembler.

But, isn't C as a HLL supposed to hide the low level details from the programmer? Or, at least, while it is relatively easy, to warn the programmer on potential problems?
