C-Based languages

C is an amazingly designed language.  It's beautiful, simple, elegant and fast.
Everything a well designed programming language should be.

C++ then came along and shit all over Dennis Ritchie's masterpiece.  Bjarne took a beautiful, simple, elegant and fast language. And kept shitting on it until all that was left was 'fast'.  Dennis should of beat the shit out of him for turning his work of art into an abomination.

Then Gosling came along, surveyed the turd that Bjarne had dropped, and attempted to clean it up.    He redesigned C++ to remove the crap and attain the elegance that C had.  Unfortunately, in his cleaning frenzy, he over-simplified the language and sacrificed speed.  In the name of simplicity he removed pointers, manual memory management,  generics, operator overloading and native code compilation.  A noble effort, but ultimately just as much of a failure as C++.

So your code coincided with the optimized code in this case, maybe nasm thought your 7 instructions weren't worth optimizing since it would take longer to do that than it would for you to run it a billion times, maybe it recognized your program as rubbish, so what is your point exactly?

Try doing this with a large code base, I'm sure the flag is there for a reason, and not to mention that there are several other optimizing assemblers out there. You should try searching for "optimizing assembler" with Google, I'm certain that despite your apparent disabilities you will still be able to operate a simple search engine like Google.
