Well, here I am getting quite a bit into territory I don't know a lot
about: I am trying to warm up my programming skills and the gcc source
looked too intangible. So I checked out gas and it definitely is much
easier to get into.
I was impressed by Randall Hydes HLA and thought it would be nice to be
able to use some more powerful mocros in assembly going with gcc, too.
Now, I don't know a lot about cpp, but I guess you couldn't use it to
preprocess inline assmebly.
After all, some macro stuff did find its way into gas, and that's why I
thought it did.
Anyway,
do you have some page listing problems to be tackled by beginners?
Boris.
