Hi Uz, > As I see it and as I've written in my last mail, what people expect is not so > much formed by what does make sense or what is possible on other platforms, > but what they're used to ON THIS SPECIFIC PLATFORM. > [...] Thanks for the detailed explanation. So my takeaway is: - C programs are intrinsically portable. So the user expections on building one (and the output) are portable too ("cc hello.c"). - Asm programs are on the other hand intrinsically machine-specific. So the user expectations on building one (and the output) tend to be machine-specific too. I.e. I would have never imagined that the user expectation for the default output could be something other than "ready-to-run". So I start to understand that there *IS* inherent complexity - the complexity of meeting user expectations ;-) Again thanks, Oliver ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list send mail to majordomo@musoftware.de with the string "unsubscribe cc65" in the body(!) of the mail.Received on Fri Nov 5 14:49:58 2010
