Hi Johnny and list,
Here is an update for the Weird Metal C problem
It turns out that the previous implementation using _asm violated the
C standard constraints. (The C Standard says names that only names that
start with an underscore and followed by either a capital letter
I don't have the C compiler, but that code looks to me like a function
call. That is, the C compiler is interpreting the line as a normal
invocation of the _asm subroutine. Do you need a special compiler
option, such as GENASM, for the compiler to recognize _asm as something
special?
Also, when I

Worse yet, Adrian Stern agreed recently with something I said on
another list. What am I doing wrong?

Hi, List,
After upgrading from z/OS 1.9 to z/OS 1.11, all our metal c programs just
won't pass the compilation process.
Take a simple test program for example:
#include metal.h
#include string.h
void main()
{
_asm( here we are );
}
It does pass the compilation, but the generated asm
