Again, I'm talking about whether there's a direct mapping from C source
code to CPU instructions.  (There isn't.)  Neither C as it's defined by
the ISO standard, nor C as it's implemented, nor C as you'd like it to
be defined and implemented, is an assembler.

Please stop bringing up the same arguments in every thread.  We heard
you the 20th time.
