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)

Haha, brilliant! Glad i stated my actual problem and not just the wrong tree i've been barking up to. X-Y problem averted. =)

The academic question still remains, though. :]

Cheers!

But yeah, if I really need proper data structures I just use Python to generate source for ca65 to assemble. Scripting's not its strong point.

I'm generally opposed to the idea of a Turing-complete language embedded in assembly code, though (see above), so having external scripts for the complex stuff is a-okay.

But simple things like mappings i do like to have. :)

Might be able to hack something out of .STRAT?

Is there any compiler which can count cycles when producing a code listing? This would be a nice feature. Also so that the start/end of counting could be set from within the asm code, and macros. I've got a tool for that, but it could be a feature in a compiler.

Ca65 is quite easy to extend.. ;) and open source

So i went with this one now: =)
.define SECTORS_ON_TRACK(T) (21 - ((.min(T, 18) / 18) * 2) - (T / 25) - (T / 31))

@Mixer:
C64Studio shows the cycle count in the left lane of the editor window.
