Re: HJWasm 2.28 release

[TWell]

Jokes apart: How do HJWasm & AsmC perform when compiled with GCC?

gcc 6 version of HJWasm64 was not good, test yourself.

gcc 6 version of HJWasm64 was not good, test yourself.

Has quite a number of errors, for example:

Code Select Expand

include \masm32\include\masm32rt.inc ; plain Masm32 for the fans of pure assembler

.code
start: MsgBox 0, "Hello World", "Test", MB_OK
.if al==127
nop    ; OK
.endif
.if al==128
nop    ; chokes with Error A2048: Operands must be the same size: 1 - 4
.endif
exit

end start

You seem to be very concerned with infringement of the MS license but they are not the one who holds the copyright of (J)WASM

Of course not  :P. I couldn´t care less about MicroShit crap

What i was worried is that you were confusing a few things about the permission of usage and distribute masm 32 sdk package from Steve. I´m totally in pro of the concept of Open Source community in general , but i can´t be blind to understand that it can have problems caused by bad intention people who are stealing others people work.

And...sure..we have to say thanks that M$ don´t own HJWasm. We don´t need more tons of pile of M$ crap being spread all over the place :icon_mrgreen: :icon_mrgreen:

Compiling HJWASM with GCC can be a pain, It took me many goes to find the right set of compiler options / command line settings to get it to work (for Linux and OSX.. both using GCC).
I don't use GCC on the PC.. and I probably wouldn't bother personally..

for reference however here are the compiler options for linux and osx gcc:

Code Select Expand


-DNDEBUG -O2 -ansi -funsigned-char -fwritable-strings

Can someone point me to a MS license for VC++ / Visual Studio that would indicate creation of open source products would be prohibited ?
I can find no mention of this in any of their licensing options, also given MS themselves are now creating a lot of open source content using their own tools.

Nidud posted that above, maybe he can clarify. Probably just a misinterpretation, but since C is portable, keeping the GCC option would be an advantage anyway.

Re GCC: Which version are you using?

the fastest gcc 4.6.3 results show an average 20% improvement over gcc 3.4.2

There is a nice comparison of compilers table here. It shows that Intel beats them all, but GCC beats M$.

This was the last I tried. I am not aware if more recent versions suck less or not.

[jj2007]

It seems Clang beats them all now, see SOF: Clang vs GCC - which produces better binaries?, first answer says about 20% (!) faster.

[aw27]

It seems Clang beats them all now,

Thank you, but I will pass for now, it is always a pain to make these tools work on Windows.

After reading a couple of the posts I well know why I prefer to write assembler.  :P

[jj2007]

Hey, why are you complaining? C is portable, isn't it

[hutch--]

Yeah,

You can port it from one C compiler to another if you take long enough.  :P

[johnsa]

Yeah,

You can port it from one C compiler to another if you take long enough.  :P

Concur with this! haha.. sometimes C can be the least portable thing possible! A lot can depend on the degree of standard compliance of the compiler itself, which feature set you're using C99 etc and then a bunch of esoteric switches on the compiler..

In the end everybody ends up using the same uniform, same menu, same crappy burger and coffee on every street corner. But hey, we are still able to choose between Pepsi and Coke, neo-liberals and neo-cons right? The sweet taste of freedom.  :lol:
ce "the entire original project is lost".

hello sir nidud;
on 198? I read a book called (raw translation) "Cultural invasion from USA"("Invasão Cultural Norte-Americana"), and that was a bit strange, that book say that we will have "hamburguer" on our dictionary you know, well, today we have "download" and "upload" on brasilian portuguese dictionary. On shadows, cultural marxism have influence on our teachers, our Universities, our metaculture, so, misrepresented Marx story thing... .
I agree with you, sir johnsa and sir habran should define whats good and whats bad to their own program.
