Uuhh ... haven't touched Assembler for years (last time during the second semester in Univerity ... long time ago

).

I have a love-hate relationship with assembler, back in my OS-development days I of course couldn't avoid using assembler (both 16-bit realmode and 32-bit protected mode, never got into long mode) and wanted to switch to C as fast as possible, although I was intrigued by the raw power assembler gave you

I should dig up one of my old projects to mess around with it..

Why not take the obvious next step? ;p

Code: Select all

int main() {
   printf("Hello world\n"); //Or whatever is actually written
}

By the way, how is that code-expansion-feature comming along?

It would be cool that some of the core features of Irrlicht were programmed in assembler, indeed, Less portability, but maybe it improved.

I'm not sure about this, but I think that at a high level like this it won't really matter that much, since the compiler will already do a lot of optimizations for you, so you won't get that much benefit from writing raw assembler

Also, inline assembler varies from compiler to compiler, there is no one global standard for writing x86 or x86_64 assembler, and we're not even talking about support for other types of CPU architectures
Using assembler would destroy support for non x86 mobile devices for example, unless you write a different implementation for every single platform and compiler you want to support

This small benefit you get out of it (if it even exists) just isn't worth the hassle

Once a programmer drowned in the sea. Many Marines where at that time on the beach...

...but the programmer was shouting "F1 F1" and nobody understood it.
