Go up one level in this thread


I doubt that this run as you say. It is a possibility but I doubt. A compiler is
a translator for normal languague to assambler and they would translate code "as
is", I mean, where a call is done, a call must be translate (who is a compiler
to take that kind of decisions? maybe a programmer would like to reduce the file
size and not code speed, or are there any kind of compiler option to do this?)
Sorry if I haven't understood before, but It sound me so ilogic that it was
difficult for me to imagine what you are explained now.
