Fair enough. What about calling functions like Int via assembly
language, since it's currently impossible to do it either via the
internal function or using the public symbol that maps to it, since
"CALL int" just raises a linker error - I presume it's not as easy as
copying some code from procedure-calling node generation:
"Error: Undefined symbol: SYSTEM_::=::\_INT$DOUBLE::=::\DOUBLE"
It's not possible because Int is not a function, but an intrinsic. This
intrinsic can map to a one of several functions in the system unit or
may be translated to machine instructions depending on the type of its
argument and the target platform (no function for it may even exist in
the system unit for certain platforms).
The compiler should give a better error when trying to call intrinsics
from assembler code though.
