The real advantage to learning assembly language is a low-level understanding of pointers and memory handling. You'll have a better understanding of the real operation and cost versus someone who has not. I really enjoyed my foray into assembler and still revisit it on occasion. A simple internet search of 'assembler emulator linux tutorial' will provide of wealth of suggestions for your iteration over a set of integers... The world is filled with average developers; it pays to stretch yourself.

mapiconcepts - MAPI Concepts
MAPI objects
Almost any MAPI data you access, read or edit is associated with an object. No matter whether you intend to browse mailbox hierarchy, open
folders, create tables or access items (messages, appointments, contacts, tasks, notes), you will have to initialize and use MAPI objects:
object understanding and manipulation is fundamental.
o When developing MAPI clients with Microsoft framework, instantiated objects inherit from parent classes. As a matter of fact, developers
know which methods they can apply to objects and we suppose it makes their life easier.
o In OpenChange, objects are opaque. They are generic data structures which content is set and accessed through MAPI public functions.
Therefore, Linux MAPI developers must know what they are doing.
An example of MAPI object manipulation is shown below:
mapi_object obj_store;
[...]
mapi_object_init(&obj_store);
retval = OpenMsgStore(&obj_store);
if (retval != MAPI_E_SUCCESS) {
mapi_errstr('OpenMsgStore', GetLastError());
exit (1);
}
mapi_object_release(&obj_store);
MAPI Handles
Beyond memory management considerations, understanding MAPI handles role in object manipulation provides a better understanding why
mapi_object_release() matters.
Handles are temporary identifiers returned by Exchange when you access or create objects on the server. They are used to make reference to
a particular object all along its session lifetime. They are stored in unsigned integers, are unique for each object but temporary along
MAPI session. Handles are the only links between objects accessed on the client side and efficiently stored on the server side.
Although OpenChange MAPI makes handles manipulation transparent for developers, mapi_object_release() frees both the allocated memory for
the object on client side, but also releases the object on the server.
