Interesting point of view, NOT!. I wonder what it smells like with his head in that small a space? :) IMO machine generated code CAN be useful, if you have memory resources enough to handle it. But I often carve my own code, making liberal use of subroutines. I've got one short proggy, maybe 90 LOC, that takes 2 days to run. I have yet to actually see machine generated code that contained a single subroutine. So tell me again who is still living in the 80's? > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > ------ Flow-based real-time traffic analytics software.
