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:

    “A bad short story or novel or poem leaves one comparatively calm because it does not exist, unless it gets a fake prestige through being mistaken for good work. It is essentially negative, it is something that has not come through. But over bad criticism one has a sense of real calamity.”
    —Rebecca West (1892–1983)

    “A friend of mine spoke of books that are dedicated like this: “To my wife, by whose helpful criticism ...” and so on. He said the dedication should really read: “To my wife. If it had not been for her continual criticism and persistent nagging doubt as to my ability, this book would have appeared in Harper’s instead of The Hardware Age.””
    —Brenda Ueland (1891–1985)

    “People try so hard to believe in leaders now, pitifully hard. But we no sooner get a popular reformer or politician or soldier or writer or philosopher—a Roosevelt, a Tolstoy, a Wood, a Shaw, a Nietzsche, than the cross-currents of criticism wash him away. My Lord, no man can stand prominence these days. It’s the surest path to obscurity. People get sick of hearing the same name over and over.”
    —F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
