- edem 12y agoAccording to Joel Spolsky all abstractions leak: http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/LeakyAbstractions.html http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/LeakyAbstractions.htm...
- Dewie 12y agoDoes assembly language leak compared to machine code? That is, does mnemonic names for machine code instructions leak?
- fanf2 12y agoYes: for example the x86 MOV instruction is actually a family of instructions. You can see the leakage in the restrictions on which combinations of addressing modes you can use.
