The more I hear about C, the better it seems to be – at least for
large jobs. But are you really saying that 'uninitialised variables
… can be caught before you go through any of the compile steps'. Is
the compiler so clever that it can follow the logic of a program well
enough to actually do this?
Whether this is what you meant or not, it seems that I'd better get
hold of a copy of SAS/C and have a good look at it. I have quite a
large project that seems to have ground to a halt, partly because I
hit a problem which took me months (and a bit of luck) to solve. If
I decide to switch to using C, I will need to be able to include the
bulk of the existing ASM code. Is it easy to do this and to call C
routines from ASM?
