Yeah, I hear that… sometimes…. others say that the Aztec doesn't hold a
candle to the Lattice (Microsystems says so, to be exact), and I bet you for
SURE that aztec wouldn't have generated the code sequences that drive the
high performance parts of my software; I use ALL the registers in some
sections… ANY 'c' compiler has to use some registers just to tell if it's
underwear is on frontwise. Also, as a 'c' user of long standing (I love 'c',
by the way, despite it's very few shortcomings), I feel quite sure that
writing 'c' code to perform as this particular assembler code does would
yeild virtually unreadable 'c' code. And by perform as, I mean in the same
logical sequence… No way for speed. No. Way. –Ben–
