As I understand it, Microsoft's #pragmas handle only optimization concerns.
The ones we've implimented are more along the lines of what Lattice has
done i.e., functional code generation over optimization. Our pragmas for
in-line calling of Amiga functions, register parameter passing, and
interrupt function definition all provide very useful functions that would
be difficult to impliment otherwise, and they provide a big pay-off in code
readability and execution time vs. other methods. So what's wrong with
that?
