'C' is OK for code longer than 500K lines. Smaller should probably be in ASM.
500k lines? That's a very arbitrary threshold and I think it's way too high. The biggest plus that 'C' has is maintainability and readability. I've written some very large programs in assembly for the 8051. More recently I've been using 'C'--that was initially at the client's request. But once I started using it I saw the definite benefit. 'C' has its place and it's not just for code that is 500,000 lines long. Regards, Craig Steiner |
