Though it annoys me that compilers are smart enough to replace what you tell them to do, with what you meant to tell them to do (even if you didn't know you meant to do it), that is a good safety feature. printf's can be very unsafe....

puts()? That has waaaaay too much overhead! ;) Try:

write(STDOUT_FILENO, "Hello World!\n", 13);

or..

write(STDOUT_FILENO, "Hello 42!\n", 10);
