Lines: 10 Excuse me, but doesn't the compiler standard make provision for functions being built-in? I seem to remember provision having to be made to make sure one could defeat built in compiler treatment of certain math functions that were turned into inline code and allowing the user to make them true function calls (presumably because the programmer wanted to make his own version of the function). What makes asm("string") any different than someones version of log(x) that might get turned into a call to the machines log instruction, unless it was explicitly turned off? -Ron
