In what cases would I want to use inline assembly code in C/C++ code : <p>I just read that assembly code can be included directly in C/C++ programs, like,</p>

<pre><code>__asm statement
__asm {
statement-1
statement-2
...
statement-n
}
</code></pre>

<p>I'm just wondering in what cases would it be useful to include assembly code in C/C++.</p>
