Assembler preferences.
Two questions:
- what's everyone using these days?
- on large productions, do groups tend to enforce a single assembler for the entire project, or is the code base a bit heterogenous?
I'd like to keep this discussion purely focussed on assemblers; please leave code generators, loader toolchains etc for that other thread.
(as for me, I'm still using xa65 for most projects) |

Due to its scripting ability. |

Quoting WisdomDue to its scripting ability. Until at some point you realise that if you only have a hammer, everything starts to look like a nail. |

true dat, kickass users tend to code the code, instead of just writing code. :) |

But everybody knows that coding the code won't code the code, so it's cool. |

Everyone knows the real gains come from configuring the code that generates the code that codes the code. |

Doesn't it all boil down to "what gets you job done"?
In the end we all use what we are accommodated to.
Currently working with KickAssembler as it's nice to have the scripting inside the one file.
The disadvantage though is the step back in the end to write a code generator that builds the code like my scripted stuff in the end. But that's another story.. ;) |

or that suddenly your demo takes many minutes to assemble because of all the conversion voodoo in javascript.... |

ah, that was to be expected, the groepaz crusade against kickass will never stop!
and really, *minutes* to compile? exaggeration is an art it seems ;)
Anyways, I currently use kickass, its probably not the best, but it's quite good and has lotsa features. It also helps that there are plenty macro's available on codebase. |
