Jaya,

I'm not sure what you're trying to achieve here. 

You present an example. I point out that it illustrates a point I'd 
been making (about how using in-line assembler can cause unintended 
problems as requirements change). You accuse me of not understanding 
the original example.

If you're interested in a technical discussion, maybe you should 
read what I actually said, and respond accordingly?

If all you're interested in is disparaging and insulting other 
contributors, can I ask you to please stop? I've had more than 
enough of it at this stage.

Best wishes
Brendan
