ok... analogy: when using g++ to compile c++ code, would you place use of "asm" statements into the same sort of foot-shooting category?
In a slightly different way, yes. There is no way of disabling inline assembly in g++, so the analogy is not fully appropriate.
However, IIUC, using inline assembly in glibc (in particular, in header files) requires a pure-C replacement version to be written for the case inline assembly is not available.
