What does an assembly require?

  1. Access to the CPU registers? C doesn't have this.
  2. Access to the CPU's memory model? C doesn't have this.
  3. Access to the CPU's op codes? C doesn't have this.
  4. A trivial translation to machine code? C doesn't have this.

So, what do you mean by "assembly"?

And how does C qualify as one?
