What about also making possible to inline assemble this way:

   asm rol foo, 3;

rather than only:

     rol bar, 3;

Do you use a lot of one-line assembly blocks? Are the braces that much of a burden? Try this: asm {rol foo, 3;} asm { ... } asm { ... } -- Justin (a/k/a jcc7) http://jcc_7.tripod.com/d/

Too much of a burden, indeed. I like the alternative GCC way.
asm {ror foo, 3;} is ugly, isn't it?
And code blocks, where every line begins with 'asm', look more puritanical.

 Try this:

http://m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?puritanical I'm sorry, I just don't understand. Anyhow, why is this a plus? Example: if (true) annoying(); if (true) annoying(); if (true) annoying(); if (true) annoying(); Versus: if (true) { notAsAnnoying(); notAsAnnoying(); notAsAnnoying(); notAsAnnoying(); } It also makes code harder to type, harder to copy and paste, uglier imho, and... ermm... well, i just don't like it. I like my assembly clean ;). -[Unknown]

I think the idea he's getting across is "rigid" or "non-flexible." Perhaps this doesn't qualify as a moral issue, but I get his drift. :-)
