"'C' to assembler" did you mean that ?

Err ... No!

Sorry.

"I do not believe ... this accomplishes anything"

Given your description, I'd totally agree with you!
Especially as it's only a few functions, it wouldn't be onerous to put in the effort of making extra-lucid documentation for them!

In fact, the project to which I alluded did retain a few assembler modules for the "tricky" bits.
