 		 #151353 - Not a C vs ASM thing
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Chris Bertrand said:
I think I'm much better in asm than C

I don't think it's anything to do with 'C'; it's a basically cumbersome & inefficient design - irrespective of what language you choose to implement it!

In assembler, surely, you wouldn't have attempted to embed each phrase into a separate function, and have to copy and paste the entire function with its data just to add another phrase - would you?

It's a basic principle of software design to keep the program and data separate - whatever language you use!

Best way to consolidate....out of memory            01/01/70 00:00      
   isn't this the classical gotcha?            01/01/70 00:00      
   There was a hint here....            01/01/70 00:00      
      Not const            01/01/70 00:00      
         Not necessarily            01/01/70 00:00      
            Hmmm...            01/01/70 00:00      
               Hmmm, indeed            01/01/70 00:00      
               Why?            01/01/70 00:00      
                  One reason ... and the prolly the original intent            01/01/70 00:00      
                     Obviously            01/01/70 00:00      
                        Speed            01/01/70 00:00      
                           Rogue programs?            01/01/70 00:00      
                              Yes. And stupid programmers            01/01/70 00:00      
                                 True            01/01/70 00:00

                        The Obvious...            01/01/70 00:00      
                           Fair enough            01/01/70 00:00      
                              make sure the developer doesn't do something stupi            01/01/70 00:00      
                              Const to Code EPROM or FLASH,,,            01/01/70 00:00      
                           const and volatile - for optimization            01/01/70 00:00      
                  consts in other than CODE space            01/01/70 00:00      
                     Use the extended keywords            01/01/70 00:00      
                        'const' and 'volatile'            01/01/70 00:00      
   Unreadable code!            01/01/70 00:00      
      It really was all Keils fault....;)            01/01/70 00:00      
   You don't want to start from here!            01/01/70 00:00      
      Previously, on 8052.com...            01/01/70 00:00      
      Array of string            01/01/70 00:00      
         Yes, my mistake            01/01/70 00:00      
   string concatenate            01/01/70 00:00      
      Comments            01/01/70 00:00      
         Wow......LOL            01/01/70 00:00      
            Not a C vs ASM thing            01/01/70 00:00      
               From your perspective, it may make sense            01/01/70 00:00      
      I went this direction....code padding removal?            01/01/70 00:00      
         For but one byte added to the array...            01/01/70 00:00      
         With proper ordering in source file...            01/01/70 00:00      
         Putting it all together            01/01/70 00:00      
            Spectacular Russ.....            01/01/70 00:00      
   THINK            01/01/70 00:00      
      that is surely needed            01/01/70 00:00      
      A bit easier to read?            01/01/70 00:00      
         easy to read???            01/01/70 00:00      
      typedef vs #define            01/01/70 00:00      
      I think not            01/01/70 00:00      
         Tks Russ.            01/01/70 00:00

                  Objectives.            01/01/70 00:00      
                     I beg your pardon?!            01/01/70 00:00      
                     I see            01/01/70 00:00      
   Best way to consolidate....out of memory            01/01/70 00:00      
   Why specify CODE for functions?            01/01/70 00:00      
      there is so much stuff            01/01/70 00:00
