      I've lost most of the messages in this discussion.  Sombody claimed
that one should sometimes (often ?, always ?) program in assembly language
because HLL compilers use complicated subroutine calling conventions that
are often not needed.  It seems to me that the obvious thing to do is to
build smarter compilers that can make these optimizations.  What is the
state of the art on this issue ?  I'll summarize any responces that I get
by mail.
