I wonder if that means there will also be a > problem writing, say, thread-safe routines or re-entrant routines. as I understand it, lokal variables are NOT on a stack, but somehow mapped to global (but invisible to other routines) memory. so this is not re-entrant, and also not threadsave. and: you won't find much of multi-threading on a Z80 ;) also: we probably have more competent compilers for DOS, but there were clearly missing competent compilers for CP/M, Z80, 6502, and the other targets that he attempts.
