Assembler compiler
Hi All,
Now recently semi-retired and needing some mental stimulation. As an ex VMS person I used to use the assembly language compiler that came with VMS. I know that my flavour of Unix (True64 / Digital Unix) comes with a C compiler but is there an assembler lurking in there? Have checked the doco and can't find anything. I miss the challenge of assembler.
Regards...

Hi,
I have received a mainframe file ( VSAM file ) . I would like to handle that file in Unix. i.e I would like to take the last record of the file. I have given wc -l <file_name> , it gives 0 lines. Even though It has some lines , it is not giving count exactly. When I gave file <file_name>... (1 Reply)

Hi, folks,
I have a simple program main.c. The program is very simple, just for testing purpose. The program was proven correct by using "gcc".
Now I would compile it step by step from main.c to main.o. Here is what I did:
cpp main.c main.i <This step succeeded>
cc main.i -o... (5 Replies)

The assembly code generated by assembler, from a C-source code depends on the CPU architecture underlying it, eg x-86 . Then does the assembler output of a simple C-source code (containing common function-calls of both windows and linux) differ between Operating Systems ? (1 Reply)

genassym
GENASSYM(1) BSD General Commands Manual GENASSYM(1)
NAME
genassym -- emit an assym.h file
SYNOPSIS
genassym [-c] [-f] C compiler invocation
DESCRIPTION
genassym is a shell script normally used during the kernel build process to create an assym.h file. This file defines a number of cpp con-
stants derived from the configuration information genassym reads from stdin. The generated file is used by kernel sources written in assem-
bler to gain access to information (e.g. structure offsets and sizes) normally only known to the C compiler.
Arguments to genassym are usually of the form ${CC} ${CFLAGS} ${CPPFLAGS} where ${CC} is the C compiler used to compile the kernel, while
${CFLAGS} and ${CPPFLAGS} are flag arguments to the C compiler. The script creates a C source file from its input. Then the C compiler is
called according to the script's arguments to compile this file.
Normally genassym instructs the C compiler to create an assembler source from the constructed C source. The resulting file is then processed
to extract the information needed to create the assym.h file. The -c flag instructs genassym to create slightly different code, generate an
executable from this code and run it. In both cases the assym.h file is written to stdout. The -f flag instructs genassym to create forth
code.
DIAGNOSTICS
Either self-explanatory, or generated by one of the programs called from the script.

HISTORY
The genassym command appeared in NetBSD 1.3 as ``genassym.sh'' in /usr/src/sys/kern. It became a userland utility in NetBSD 4.0.
