#88173 - Nevertheless
Responding to: ???'s previous message
even if Keil did have "seamless" inline assembler it would not be safe to assume that you could just set ACC and CY in 'C', fiddle about a bit with inline assembler, then recover ACC and CY into 'C' variables:
ACC = var_1;
CY = var_2;
#pragma ASM
RLC A
#pragma ENDASM
var_3 = ACC;
var_4 = CY;
It will probably work in some cases but, if the compiler has to do any address calculations or whatever, it could well trash your ACC and/or CY values.

The only way to be certain would be to check the generated assembler - if you have to keep doing that, you might just a well write it in assembler!
