The sentence is in perfectly good english. Maybe a little long and complex. When in difficulty, you might find http://bablefish.altavista.com a useful tool. It rendered: : Si vous n'avez rien ý de la substance contribuer ý la : discussion continue sur ce qui constitue une "vraie" exýcution : d'un outil de langage de l'assemblage X86, je suis sýr que : je ne suis pas seul en vous espýrant observerai simplement. A few mistakes, but not all that bad French. To be more clear, the last line could have said: "je ne suis pas seul en esperant que vous observeriez simplement" -- Robert >

Hey, thanks for the interest. I grew up on home computers - my first exposure to the 68K was the Atari ST, on which I wrote non-commercial games. No money for a C compiler so it was all in assembly. Over the course of a few years that was easily my first 10,000 lines of code for graphics, sprite engines, interrupt-based screen effects, sound programming, low level access to the floppy disk controller, DMA, and of course higher level game logic. Professionally I worked on VME based networking devices, mostly in 'C' but also boot code, exception handlers, crash dumps. Worked at that level on a number of projects. Tens of thousands of lines over the course of 8 or 9 years. Big fun. Even though I almost exclusively work in 'C' above the operating system nowadays, I never pass up an opportunity to get down and dirty with microcontrollers or assembly language. Yes, I'm a geek. Cheers, Paul.

I might be able to extend the same forgiveness, were it not for the fact that AT&T/gas is so much _worse_. FWIW, back when I did a lot of x86 assembler, I used TASM's IDEAL mode for any code I wrote, and its MASM emulation mode (sans QUIRKS) for assembling third-party code (if it had needed QUIRKS, I probably would have re-written it). I used Metaware High-C for C code, and avoided gas/gcc altogether. Regards, -=Dave -- Change is inevitable, progress is not. |
