It’s fun to consider how C devolves into assembler. In my mind, C and its derivatives dissolve into 68K assembler as I’m writing or debugging. Thinking about code this way lets me get a feel for how all the bits all fit together.
It seems like a lost art to think that way. It’s disturbing to me how many candidates couldn’t write Hello World and compile it from the command line.
Everyone should spend some time with godbolt.org or better, the -save-temps compiler flag, to see how changes affect your generated code. Right now. I’ll wait. (Shakes cane at kids)
