Absolutely! In fact BCI51 supports assembly code better than many $2000+ C compilers. Surprised? We were too. It turns out that C compiler’s optimizers can’t deal with in-line assembly code. So in C you either don’t do in-line assembly, or you do it once, in a complex multi-step process, compile it, and then use it as an external library. Changing your assembly code requires that you repeat the process. BCI51 is much easier, with no such complications. We include application notes and samples of in-line assembly code. BCI51 has no overhead or penalty of code or speed for the BASIC-to-assembly code switch, so you can do it hundreds of times in your program if you so desire. BCI51’s assembly code support is one of it’s most popular features.
