Help needed combining GCC/C++ with asm sources

[bloodline]

My Advice?

I suggest you recode your ASM parts in C, it will be better in the long run :-)

Sorry, yes, I did think before I clicked "Submit" that It could be eligable for "most useless post of the year award"... but even without portability, I would still recommend using C :-)

My thinking is that CPU's only get faster, theny  never get slower... so I wouldn't worry about optimising it (Yes I can't believe I just said that... Next you will hear that I've just got the job of cheif architect at MicroSoft).

Can't you assemble your ASM functions serparatley and then link them in at link time?

[bloodline]

Worst case scenario is that I will have to just use stack passing and modify the asm side. Then I should be able to use 'extern "C"' at least

Real Men use stacks... Eh? what? yes Bill I can hear you! You need an heir to the SmallFlacid throne? Yes! I will heed the calling... :lol:


Yes, due to the unfortunate deadend nature of the 68k... you have a very good point.


I think you should make a shared library, that way we can all have the benefit of your functions :-)

The 680x0 asm stuff in a normal amiga os linrary you mean? a memfunc.library...?

Hmm, I don't see why not. Wouldn't have too many functions in it just now though. Just copy, set, set16, set32, set64, swap16, swap32, swap64.

 

It might be nice to have a standardized API for those functions, especially when porting from 68k code to x86 for example.
