   @mangeurdenuage all i'm saying is that C's programming model is no longer adequate, and a lot of processor logic is spent trying to emulate what C wants

     And none of the examples that you stated have any problems ?

     @mangeurdenuage i mean like modern superscalar, out-of-order, speculative processors, including VLIW operations

     >decent processor microarchitecture What is a decent processor microarchitecture ? Btw not trying to troll, I just want to see where your thoughts are going.

     @mangeurdenuage C is flat-address-space, fully sequential, one-datum-at-a-time processing, which is not the case anymore in any decent processor microarchitecture

     the C machine is a myth that must be eliminated. C is an inadequate model and has been so since the 70's
