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:

    “Like speaks to like only; labor to labor, philosophy to philosophy, criticism to criticism, poetry to poetry. Literature speaks how much still to the past, how little to the future, how much to the East, how little to the West.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “When you overpay small people you frighten them. They know that their merits or activities entitle them to no such sums as they are receiving. As a result their boss soars out of economic into magic significance. He becomes a source of blessings rather than wages. Criticism is sacrilege, doubt is heresy.”
    —Ben Hecht (1893–1964)

    “Nothing would improve newspaper criticism so much as the knowledge that it was to be read by men too hardy to acquiesce in the authoritative statement of the reviewer.”
    —Richard Holt Hutton (1826–1897)
