>>Sounds like somebody wants an extensible C. > >It's been done, it works well, and it's readily available: C++. Some people have been asking for access to machine specific features. C is good at getting at machine features for one particular machine whether they exist or not. Query: Does C++ do the same or does it define its machine independent operators in terms of specific machine features and give programmers access to the same mechanism? (Why bother buying an unavailable book if I can con someone else in to doing my research for me?)
