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:

    “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)

    “... criticism ... makes very little dent upon me, unless I think there is some real justification and something should be done.”
    —Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)

    “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)
