Why don't you just compile your routines in "C" but set your
compiler to output a intermediate assembler file.
Then use the assembler file to build routines that can be poked
into memory and called from euphoria.

2. RE: Bob, Slob, and Rob ...
Good question.
Now for the awnser;
You can't do this because if you ask your C compiler
to compile to an ASM file that is if you have teh
chance your compiler can do that, what is emitted has
to be hand-edited almost completely to change it to an
asm.e acceptable format. This involves a lot of
cutting pasting scrapping and pulling ASM code, and in
the end you'd have being better off coding it in ASM
by hand.
And that's not why someone uses Euphoria; To code all
his routines in ASM.
Also, your routine will be slower in most cases even
if it's in ASM, because ASM means call(), which than
actually does the calling, so you have twice the
calling overhead and there's no way you can say "I'm
going to inline this ASM Code".
Plus, it's not portable.
Not just over hardware, but also over OS' and
compiler.
Don't let the Euphoria docs misguide you;
In all the years Euphoria exists, not a single person
has ever done this.
It's possible, but not do-able.
I guess Rob was just over-excited when he wrote that.
