Wow, I'm a C programmer.  I can also do assembly, however, quite often C
produces the same machine language sequences as would be written for many
things, loop structure and control structures for example.  Assembly comes in
handy when logic tricks which don't translate well are used.  Years ago, I
used a C compiler (QuickC 2.5, still have it) for PC (DOS) and it had a
feature called in-line assembly.  One could write hybrid programs where
sections were in C and other sections were in assembly.  Do DSP compilers
support this or is it a one or the other deal?
