I don't mind staring at the assembly, I just don't want to hand crank it any longer. :-/
I'll spend quite some time fussing with the compiler and optimization flags to get loops to run at maximum speed before I'll take the assembly in hand to 'make it right.'
For stack traces, I've found the GNU compiler support for stack tracing quite handy and for my company it works quite well.
On the discussion of x86 assembly, I have to agree that it is horrific. I'll take ARM (and I have done context switchers and trap handers in ARM) any time.

/my name in your iPhone, it is more likely than you think.
About two queries on the topic.
Yes, L. L. Cherry is Lorinda Lillian Cherry.
Rudd Canaday was in on building the foundation, but not the
ground floor. When the Thompson/Ritchie/Canaday (and independently
Strachey/Stoy) file system came to be built, Rudd had completed
his visiting assignment in Computing Science Research. When he
did get a login, he was rhc, but his UID was not among the
single-digit set.

Your correspondents have done a good job of reconstructing the
old list. Alas, I can't remember the only missing entry, Dick
Haight's login. The above list, however, wants one small
correction. Robert Morris did not have a middle name, the
"h" was a figment for filling in forms that wanted a middle
initial.
Another important name is
L. L. Cherry llc
I was trying to generate PDFs of some PWB
manual pages but they use V6 macros.
I have found tmac.an6 which generates somthing
readable but stamps each page with:
THIS MANUAL ENTRY NEEDS TO BE CONVERTED - SEE mancvt(1) and man(7)
Anyone know of mancvt, I cannot find it.

Ok,
another trivia question.
where did xargs come from? I started with Edition 7 (Perkin Elmer
V7 + bits of BSD 2.1) and I am pretty sure it wasn't there.
I have a feeling it was printed in a book as shell script, somthing
like Bourne's book, or Kernighan and Pike but I'am not sure.
Anyone remember?
-Steve
Thanks for this alert
