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) |

dear mr.kickass.
parsing
flex pass 1
.if ( 1 == 1 ) {
.import Source "1-include/include.asm"
^
Error: Unknown import type 'Source'
at line 2, column 1 in credits.asm
Could you please fix that? ;)
Thanks |

This has to do with the multi pass behaviour of KickAss, I believe.
However, Bitbreaker came up with a nifty workaround for this some months ago, when working with KickAss support for BitFire:
.import source 1 == 1 ? "code.asm" : "empty.asm" |

Quote: just measured the startup time of kickass, it's about 0.100 sec on my system. 0.269 sec was used for compiling, exomizer then took 0.427 sec...
but yea, u know what they say: YMMV ;)
Yes, it varies a bit (compiling a single nop):
$ time java -jar ./KickAss.jar a.asm >/dev/null
real 0m5.426s
user 0m0.356s
sys 0m0.120s
$ time ./64tass a.asm >/dev/null
real 0m0.002s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m0.000s
model name : Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1700MHz
cache size : 1024 KB
356 ms is not that bad. |

There actually are solutions for eliminating the java startup time by reusing the jvm. One of them is called 'Nailgun', but ofcause if you are afraid that all your problems look like nails you will discard that solution ;-)
Why Groepaz have a problem when he is using makefiles, I don't know (Using makefiles he should only get the startup penalty a limited number of times) But he is know to seek out the worst possible solution and then bitch to everyone about it. I guess you could also try using ANT since it is java based so the jvm is probably also reused. |

It is good to see that people have strong opinions about assembler preferences. :D |

Frantic: and that
.import source 1 == 1 ? "code.asm" : "empty.asm"
isnt the worst possible solution <3 |
