Can we do better than our C compiler?
Today, I wanted to see if I could out-compile my C compiler. I added a hand-compiled assembly version of echo from our previous coding exercise and added a new make target, make asm , that will assemble it. Let's look at our hand-compiled assembly and compare it to our C compiler and ask whether or not it was worth it.
