GNU Assembler - Criticism

Criticism

Those more accustomed to writing in Intel syntax have argued that not supporting the Intel syntax for assembly on the x86 and x86-64 platforms, as many other assemblers do, is a flaw.

However, since version 2.10Intel syntax can be used through use of the .intel_syntax directive. A simple C-inline assembler example using the .intel_syntax directive:

__asm__ __volatile__("\t.intel_syntax noprefix\n" "\tpop edx\n" "\tmov eax,edx\n" "\t.att_syntax prefix\n" : /* no outputs */ : "d" (save_var), "a" (temp_var) /* inputs */ : "eax", "edx" /* clobber list */);

Famous quotes containing the word criticism:

    “I, with other Americans, have perhaps unduly resented the stream of criticism of American life ... more particularly have I resented the sneers at Main Street. For I have known that in the cottages that lay behind the street rested the strength of our national character.”
    —Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)

    “...I wasn’t at all prepared for the avalanche of criticism that overwhelmed me. You would have thought I had murdered someone, and perhaps I had, but only to give her successor a chance to live. It was a very sad business indeed to be made to feel that my success depended solely, or at least in large part, on a head of hair.”
    —Mary Pickford (1893–1979)
