It should be possible to do this in such a way that the compiler will substitute the locations of variables for the variable names in the asm instructions. I know of ways to do the job; one person to whom I showed this pointed out that if the compiler were changed this could break. This would not be the case if the suggested enhancement were made. -- (Usual disclaimer line.)
