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...

Does the assembler output differ between operating systems ?

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(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. SEE ALSO
genassym.cf(5) 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. BSD
