==range limits for the factorial function==
 
Just a thought...it would be interesting to programmatically identify the range limits of the factorial function for the unknown implementation. (The C and c++ implementations, for example, will overflow at different places depending on the range of int.) --[[User:Short Circuit|Short Circuit]] 18:33, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

== The moving of 80386 to x86 Assembly ==
Line 36 ⟶ 40:
I think it is better to use generic x86, and at most to specify a "works with", if needed, rather than let proliferate 80286, 80386, 80486, ... —[[User:ShinTakezou|ShinTakezou]] 14:56, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
: I agree to a point; there's a definite progression and tendency toward backwards-compatibility. However, there are incompatible revisions. It's possible that different modes (real, protected, long and legacy) warrant some degree of recognition as their own languages--these modes represent forward and reverse compatibility constraints. --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 16:03, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
