Arm Assembler For Macos

Jun 13, 2013  This assembly is then assembled by an assembler (say that three times fast!) into machine code, the raw 1s and 0s that the CPU reads. Fortunately, you don’t ever need to worry about machine code, but understanding assembly in detail is sometimes extremely useful. ARM CPUs contain 16 registers numbered r0 to r15, each of which are 32 bits. Jul 29, 2011  ARM Compiler toolchain Assembler Reference.

12.52 MACRO and MEND

Arm assembler for macos windows 10

The MACRO directive marks the start of the definition of a macro. Macro expansion terminates at the MEND directive.

Syntax

These two directives define a macro. The syntax is:
$label
is a parameter that is substituted with a symbol given when the macro is invoked. The symbol is usually a label.
macroname
is the name of the macro. It must not begin with an instruction or directive name.
$cond
Arm Assembler For Macos
is a special parameter designed to contain a condition code. Values other than valid condition codes are permitted.
$parameter
is a parameter that is substituted when the macro is invoked. A default value for a parameter can be set using this format:
Double quotes must be used if there are any spaces within, or at either end of, the default value.

Usage

If you start any WHILE...WEND loopsor IF...ENDIF conditions within a macro,they must be closed before the MEND directiveis reached. You can use MEXIT to enable anearly exit from a macro, for example, from within a loop.
Within the macro body, parameters such as $label, $parameter or $cond can be used in the same way as other variables. They are given new values each time the macro is invoked. Parameters must begin with $ to distinguish them from ordinary symbols. Any number of parameters can be used.
$label is optional. It is useful if the macro defines internal labels. It is treated as a parameter to the macro. It does not necessarily represent the first instruction in the macro expansion. The macro defines the locations of any labels.

Arm Assembler For Macos Windows 10

Use | as the argument to use the defaultvalue of a parameter. An empty string is used if the argument isomitted.
In a macro that uses several internal labels, it is usefulto define each internal label as the base label with a differentsuffix.
Use a dot between a parameter and following text, or a followingparameter, if a space is not required in the expansion. Do not usea dot between preceding text and a parameter.
You can use the $cond parameter for condition codes. Use the unary operator :REVERSE_CC: to find the inverse condition code, and :CC_ENCODING: to find the 4-bit encoding of the condition code.
Macros can be nested.

Examples

A macro that uses internal labels to implement loops:
When variables are being passed in as arguments, use of | might leave some variables unsubstituted. To work around this, define the | in a LCLS or GBLS variable and pass this variable as an argument instead of |. For example:

This is a list of assemblers: computer programs that translate assembly languagesource code into binary programs. Some assemblers are components of a compiler system for a high level language and may have limited or no usable functionality outside of the compiler system. Some assemblers are hosted on the target processor and operating system, while other assemblers (cross-assemblers) may run under an unrelated operating system or processor. For example, assemblers for embedded systems are not usually hosted on the target system since it would not have the storage and terminal I/O to permit entry of a program from a keyboard. An assembler may have a single target processor or may have options to support multiple processor types. Very simple assemblers may lack features, such as macros, present in more powerful versions.

As part of a compiler suite[edit]

  • GNU Assembler (gas): GPL: many target instruction sets including ARM architecture, Atmel AVR, x86, x86-64, Freescale 68HC11, Freescale v4e, Motorola 680x0, MIPS, PowerPC, IBM System z, TI MSP430, Zilog Z80.
  • ASxxxx Cross Assembler (part of the Small Device C Compiler project): GPL: several target instruction sets including Intel 8051, Zilog Z80, Freescale 68HC08, PIC microcontroller.
  • The Amsterdam Compiler Kit (ACK) targets many architectures of the 1980s, including 6502, 6800, 680x0, ARM, x86, Zilog Z80 and Z8000.
  • LLVM targets many platforms, however emits no per-target assembly language, instead more high-level typedintermediate representation assembly-like language used.
  • Some others self-hosted native-targeted language implementations (like Go, Free Pascal, SBCL) have their own assemblers with multiple targets. They may be used for inline assembly inside language, or even included as a library, but not always suitable for standalone application - no command-line tool exists, or only intermediate representation used as a source, or support for targets very limited.

  1. ^ Part of the MINIX 3 source tree, but without obvious development activity.
  2. ^ Developed by Interactive Systems Corporation in 1986 when they ported UNIX System V to Intel iAPX286 and 80386 architectures. Archetypical of ATT syntax because it was used as reference for GAS. Still used for The SCO Group's products, UnixWare and OpenServer.
  3. ^Home site appears inactive. Also offered as part of FreeBSD Ports, in bcc-1995.03.12.
  4. ^ Active, supported, but unadvertised.
  5. ^Developed in 1982 at MIT as a cross-assembler, it was picked up by Interactive Systems Corporation in 1983 when they developed PC/IX under IBM contract. The syntax was later used as base for ACK assembler, to be used in MINIX 1.x toolchain.
  6. ^RosAsm project on WebArchive.org.
  7. ^ Part of the C++Builder Tool Chain, but not sold as a stand-alone product, or marketed since the CodeGear spin-off; Borland was still selling it until then. Version 5.0, the last, is dated 1996.
  8. ^ Turbo Assembler was developed as Turbo Editasm by Uriah Barnett from Speedware Inc (Sacramento, CA) between 1984 and 1987, then later sold to, or marketed by, Borland as their Turbo Assembler.
  9. ^ Last stable version 1.3.0 was released in August 2014, and low maintenance since then: https://github.com/yasm/yasm
