{
asmfunc1()
C CODE GOES HERE
asmfunc2()
}
If the assembly is the bulk of the code and the C section is small, then just
write somefunc() in assembly and be done with it.
The only argument I can see for ILAC is "it avoids the setup time required to
call my time critical assembly routine". But that's not really an argument, I
don't THINK, since the proper approach would be to move the call point back to
before the time-critical section.
As I don't feel strongly about these points (see my comments to Ben, BTW), I'm
not going to get involved in the discussion to any great extent. But I AM
trying to understand all sides and what everyone is saying, and would
appreciate it if you can clarify for me what you're asking and why what I've
suggested isn't appropriate. It just seems like "the obvious way to do it" to
me, which must mean I'm missing SOMETHING….
Thanks for your time.
Rick
