Due limitation with free version of XC8 compiler, for critical operations I'm trying to use assembler.
However, it seem that mixing does not work as intended, at least not with latest v1.34.
This is just a bit modified example from XC8 manual, section 5.12.
It seems that it does not return value from ASM routine at all.
Tested with MPLABX and simulator for PIC16F4550 at 20MHz.
Anyone can put some light on this, or this is just plain bug?
