You are not accurate, my comment at the time was: .I am not sure what to think of this. .There is no requirement for print.jal to have such a function. It is .just an assign and putting it in a function adds a large calling .overhead is large. And calling takes more typing than the actual .assignment. .I do acknowledge debug.jal needs such a function, since it handle the .conditional stuff. And please do add it. .But I am not sure it is a good idea to add a similar funtion in .print.jal. Yes, it looks similar. But we do need to recommend not to .use it since it is a waste of resources. .I'd like to hear how you and others on the list look at this. And we also noted there was no way to implement it with substantial overhead at the time. You said you'd take this up with Kyle but afaik there has not been a feedback that this has been fixed. So, *if* you verified the calling overhead issue is resolved, I'd say it is good to consider the pro's and con's of function which basically assigns its second parameter to its first...
