How does one get a _valid_ assembly listing? Beats me. Also, have you ever tried to look at the actual input to the compiler (post cpp) by running the provided cpp? Suprise! It is not what the compiler uses and lots of things don't work like long symbols. We used to ask Microsoft about the compiler output, cpp and lint and for cpp and lint we got "you don't need them, the C compiler has all of that built-in." We never got a good answer about the valid assembler output, but since they don't run the code through masm, I guess they could say you don't need that either. "Thank you, Uh Clem."
