in continuum to my previous mail about libc; if the whole of userland and various other toolkits were written in assembly language, would there be no need for libc, that is if "c" were not needed to be supported at all? do assembly language programs have the capacity to make kernel calls directly? i.e., without going through any libraries? pardon my naive questions, i don't have a background in computer science nor enough self-training.
