Survey for 64-bit coders

[lucho]

Some of our members are active in 64-bit land, and I have a few questions to them:
- which assembler and/or package are you using?

GNU Assembler (GAS), Clang integrated assembler (GAS-compatible) and UASM.

In the 64-bit section :

Poasm and ml64

Hi lucho
I use UASM exclusively for development. I occasionally check the code with other assemblers, but not very often.

I tried to repeat, sorry!

Привет Лъчко,
I use
Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2022 (64-bit) - Preview
Version 17.14.2 Preview 1.0
with
Microsoft (R) Macro Assembler (x64) Version 14.44.35207.1
Microsoft (R) Incremental Linker Version 14.44.35207.1

Привет Лъчко,

Привет, Оги!

By the way, because of its multi-architectural nature, the GNU Assembler is actually not a single assembler:

GNU as is really a family of assemblers.

Members of this family share a common output format (ELF) and directives. Everything else – even the comment separation character – is architecture-dependent.

Event with the Intel syntax support, it's not easy to user the Gas assembler. The macro engine is poor. Gas is rather useful as a backend tool for other programming languages.
