Title: DevPac and other assemblers (for PPC too), couple of questions
Post by: Jose on February 11, 2004, 07:48:41 PM

Stupid question but HiSofts page doesn't mention it and I'd like to confirm that it doesn't...

Devpac 3 have NEVER supported the ppc processor and if I remember well was not optimised for the 68060 too :-(

last i checked i belived this was a coders job :)


anyway no, there is no pre ppc stuff in it, but there is alternatives for that like PHXASM etc.

anyway i changed to gcc / vbcc ...

cheerios

Ah, ok. I guess I won't get it after all...
What assembler were you using ? I'm fiddling around with ASM-One at the moement, but there are still some bugs in it...

@jose

vbcc-wos has a ppc assembler with it :-)

@Karlos
Cool. But  I'm still on 68k side, and would like to get used to a good  assembler that supports ppc at the same time.

Anyone used Asm-One for PPC? I guess if it gets all the features it has for 68k, and the bugs get fixed it'll be cooll. I read in the docs that it supports Altivec!! Anyone tried it??

I use Frank Wille's pasm for assembling PowerPC code, AFAIK it should work under 68k too. Here's the link

I think pasm is the one bundled with vbcc. I used it to write one or two asm optimised C function replacements, but never to do full blown apps.
