There is no reason to hardcode that Harbour output has to be C only
code. We can add direct object file generation in the future and it
will not work with any code which uses #pragma BEGINDUMP/ENDDUMP
just like now it does not work with .hrb files and it will not work
with extended .hrb formats (.hrl/.hre) we plan to add. We can also
add .ASM output or generating code for other VMs.
To avoid possible problems and later code updating we decided to not
use #pragma BEGINDUMP/ENDDUMP and HB_INLINE( <params,...> ) { <Ccode;...> }
in core Harbour code. Just simply such code can effectively block adding
some extensions to Harbour compiler because it reduce the compiler frontend
to C output.
There are also some other reasons and problems which can be exploited by
mixed C and Clipper code.
