> A language does not need to provide every hardware primitive, just realize that it can't and implement a sane way to support hardware features that don't require abusing a cumbersome macro system and heavy compiler modification. The information has to somehow be passed to the compiler, your options are: compiler specific features (see gcc attributes, etc), language level (see the fun that becomes with explicit_memset vs. memset) or a really fancy IR that can hold these types of requirements.
