 		 #159593 - Why Not inline C
Responding to: ???'s previous message
First it assumes that the compiler will put things in a specific place. Then it assumes the compiler will work around your code. It may not be able to optimize. You may corrupt registers it is using.
If you are inlining a NOP or a setbit OK. But the compiler gives you the ability to do this with C extensions.
I am sure some could come up with an example where it is the best way to go.

   Depends!            01/01/70 00:00      
      Also            01/01/70 00:00      
         No! Not Inline!!            01/01/70 00:00      
            why not inline?            01/01/70 00:00      
               I agree with Andy (at least for Keil), but ....            01/01/70 00:00      
                  Keil specifically            01/01/70 00:00      
                     Keil and reasoning            01/01/70 00:00      
                        Jan...Take it from experience...            01/01/70 00:00      
                           can you please explain?            01/01/70 00:00      
                              Example??            01/01/70 00:00      
                                 I am curious            01/01/70 00:00      
                              Use these references in lieu of examples:            01/01/70 00:00      
                              I explained it earlier; example here            01/01/70 00:00      
                                 I now see the point with Keil...            01/01/70 00:00      
                                    Often intrinsic use of inline assembler            01/01/70 00:00      
                                       Not a safe assumption?            01/01/70 00:00      
                                          No, extrapolation not allowed            01/01/70 00:00      
                                          but if it is a macro...            01/01/70 00:00      
                                             A limited example            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                an opinion            01/01/70 00:00      
                     Keil specifically - more            01/01/70 00:00      
               Why Not inline C            01/01/70 00:00      
               Inline assembler - Avoid! Avoid!!            01/01/70 00:00      
                  in order to keep things together            01/01/70 00:00

                        from where I sit...            01/01/70 00:00      
                           you said it            01/01/70 00:00      
                              this has nothing to do with it            01/01/70 00:00      
                                 asm *functions* embedded in C-majority source file            01/01/70 00:00      
                                 Whay Not???            01/01/70 00:00      
                                    My view point on ASM in C            01/01/70 00:00      
                                       That is the point            01/01/70 00:00      
                                 here is one - at least re Keil            01/01/70 00:00      
                     Maybe not here, but...            01/01/70 00:00      
            I do not disagree            01/01/70 00:00      
   Compiler ?            01/01/70 00:00      
      Get the manual when/where you get the compiler            01/01/70 00:00      
   and C in asm ?            01/01/70 00:00      
      C first?            01/01/70 00:00      
         not used to call compiler generated asm so translate by hand            01/01/70 00:00      
      if a compiler can do it            01/01/70 00:00      
      depends on the compiler            01/01/70 00:00      
         SDCC...            01/01/70 00:00      
            What assembler?            01/01/70 00:00      
               SB-asm            01/01/70 00:00      
                  In principle this should work.            01/01/70 00:00      
                  OTOH, why not simply write in ASM?            01/01/70 00:00
