Do we have a sense for how many of the programs that work [0] are now detected as having asm violations?

Zero, since I made those programs work back when all inline asm was an error.

So currently most of those still have the hacks to go down the no-inlineasm path when building with Fil-C

For the few where I reinstated the inline assembly, there were no bugs found.

It would be a good experiment to try to reinstate the inlineasm paths in all of the programs that had them. I suspect there’s a low chance of finding a bug if it’s in inline assembly that’s on the critical path.
