Steve,
Either one. To me, assembler is a universally "right" language for any
computer, and as such, is the only "right" way to document the machine's inner
workings. I say leave it up to the compiler writers to write and document the
interface for their own language.
BCPL isn't so bad, except for the pointers, and even they make a lot of sense
when implemented on a true 32 bit machine. The stack goes the wrong way though,
but that only points out the foolishness of trying to cram one architecture
into another.
Regards, Larry.
