Converting gas code to masm

[penguino]

Can anybody explain exactly what the following gas macro is doing, so I can convert it to a masm macro?

Code Select Expand


macro PUSHRSP reg
    lea -4(%ebp),%ebp
    movl \reg,(%ebp)
.emdm

Thanks.

The conversion part is easy:

PUSHRSP macro reg
  lea ebp, [ebp-4]
  mov [ebp], reg
ENDM

The question is if it does something useful ::)

[penguino]

Ahh - thanks. Now I know what it does.

that should be useful? I've my doubts. Anyway, you're now a specialist for AT&T syntax.  :t

That AT&T syntax looks always ugly. Not an easily readable notation.

That AT&T syntax looks always ugly. Not an easily readable notation.

not surprisingly for a back-end assembler that was never intended for human usage, even if there are some geniuses who claims the opposite  8)

There is a directive you can use to switch as to the familiar Intel syntax:

Code Select Expand


.intel_syntax noprefix


In recent times even gcc supports Intel syntax, for inline assembly and the back-end assembler.

and with that directive, as performs good.
