Points well taken.
However, I believe that, when a programmer decides to do a quick hack,
portability not withstanding, a feature such as inline assembly code is nice to
have. Under such circumstances, this feature has merit.
I personally see nothing wrong with Manx's choice of 16 bits for ints. I *DO*
agree with you however, that not supporting the Amiga standard object code
format was a blunder of the first degree.
Lattice is my compiler of choice right now. However, I've found Manx to be a
more stable product, and the Manx compiler is available on a wider range of
PCs.
