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:

    “In criticism I will be bold, and as sternly, absolutely just with friend and foe. From this purpose nothing shall turn me.”
    —Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1845)

    “I hold with the old-fashioned criticism that Browning is not really a poet, that he has all the gifts but the one needful and the pearls without the string; rather one should say raw nuggets and rough diamonds.”
    —Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)

    “The greater the decrease in the social significance of an art form, the sharper the distinction between criticism and enjoyment by the public. The conventional is uncritically enjoyed, and the truly new is criticized with aversion.”
    —Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)
