#165561 - to asm or not to asm
Responding to: ???'s previous message

I was told, asm in Keil is not accepted very well...

Hopefully, you just misunderstood - I hope nobody actually said that!

Keil has a perfectly good assembler, and Keil C51 is perfectly able to call assembler functions.

The problem comes with embedding snippets of assembler source within a 'C' source file - so-called "inline" assembler.

Yes, that's the exact wording indeed, and I even remember your explanation why is is so - but it still sounds to me like a limitation. It's not exactly the case here, but one of the reasons to resort to asm is to gain speed - and if using asm involves calling a function, it sort of defeats what's gained.
