Assembler: Assemblers
built 650 days ago
Each Assembler created Nodes—smaller arachnoid drones that lived to do the Assembler's bidding who were created from the primary intelligences own neural tissue. Boba Fett discovered that Assemblers evolved from Nodes who killed their old master to take their place, sometimes through consumption of their creator. The only Assembler known to galactic history was Kud'ar Mub'at, a mastermind who acted as a go-between for criminal organizations and potential employees.

Assembler candidates may assemble small or large electronic devices, cabinetry, aircraft, automotive parts, medical devices, etc. Assemblers may ... perform soldering, read blueprints or CAD drawings, or be required to use measuring devices.

The assembler reads one line of the source file at a time. If this source statement has a valid symbol in the label field, the assembler ensures that the symbol has not already been used as a label. If this is the first time the symbol has been used as a label, the assembler adds the label to the symbol table and assigns the value of the current location counter to the symbol. If the symbol has already been used as a label, the assembler returns the error message

The assembler is two pass. The first pass resolves all commands, eliminates all comments, and stores all labels in a link table. The second pass links all the labels to the correct line for jumps and branches.

The assembler takes text files with the ‘.asm’ extension and produces relocatable code files with the ‘.rel’ extension. These files are not runable .... To be runable, they must first be linked together with the linker. Other files created by the assembler include the listing file and an error file. One non-standard feature is the directive ‘.dump’ that creates a symbol table file from equate files. The purpose of this is to allow a method of compacting the huge library of system equates that Apple has created as part of the Macintosh development effort on the Lisa.

The flat assembler is a fast and efficient self-assembling 80x86 assembler for DOS, Windows and Linux operating systems. Currently it supports all 8086-80486/Pentium instructions with MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3 and 3DNow! extensions and x86-64 (both AMD64 and EM64T) instructions, can produce output in binary, MZ, PE, COFF or ELF format. It includes the powerful but easy to use macroinstruction support and does multiple passes to optimize the instruction codes for size. The flat assembler is self-compilable and the full source code is included.
