汇编编程比高级语言(如c)花费更长的时间,更难编程,这似乎是一种主流观点。因此,出于这些原因以及更好的可移植性,似乎建议或假设用高级语言编写更好。
最近我一直在用x86汇编语言写作,我开始意识到这些原因可能都不是真的,除了可移植性。也许这更多的是一个熟悉的问题,知道如何写好汇编。我还注意到在汇编中编程与在HLL中编程有很大的不同。也许一个好的、有经验的汇编程序员可以像一个有经验的C程序员用C写程序一样轻松、快速地编写程序。
也许是因为汇编编程与hll有很大的不同,因此需要不同的思维、方法和方式,这使得对不熟悉的人编写程序看起来非常尴尬,因此给汇编编程带来了不好的名声。
如果可移植性不是问题,那么C语言比NASM这样的优秀汇编器有什么优势呢?

我只是想指出。当你用汇编语言写作时,你不必只写指令代码。您可以使用宏、过程和您自己的约定来进行各种抽象,使程序更模块化、更可维护、更易于阅读。这就是熟悉如何编写好的汇编的原因。

因此,您基本上是在说,通过熟练地使用复杂的汇编程序,您可以使ASM代码越来越接近C(或者您自己发明的另一种低级语言),直到最终您的工作效率与C程序员一样高。
这是否回答了你的问题?: -)
我并不是在无所事事地说:我已经使用这样的汇编器和系统进行了编程。更好的是,汇编程序可以以虚拟处理器为目标,并且一个单独的翻译程序可以为目标平台编译汇编程序的输出。与LLVM的IF很相似,但其早期形式比它早了大约10年。因此,有了可移植性,再加上为特定目标汇编器编写例程的能力,以提高效率。
Writing using that assembler was about as productive as C, and with by comparison with GCC-3 (which was around by the time I was involved) the assembler/translator produced code that was roughly as fast and usually smaller. Size was really important, and the company had few programmers and was willing to teach new hires a new language before they could do anything useful. And we had the back-up that people who didn't know the assembler (e.g. customers) could write C and compile it for the same virtual processor, using the same calling convention and so on, so that it interfaced neatly. So it felt like a marginal win.
这是在开发汇编程序技术、库等方面花费了许多人多年的工作。不可否认的是,其中大部分都是为了使其可移植,如果它只针对一种架构,那么所有唱歌所有跳舞的汇编器就会容易得多。
总而言之:你可能不喜欢C语言,但这并不意味着使用C语言的努力就比想出更好的东西的努力更大。
你好,我是一个编译器。
I just scanned thousands of lines of code while you were reading this sentence. I browsed through millions of possibilities of optimizing a single line of yours using hundreds of different optimization techniques based on a vast amount of academic research that you would spend years getting at. I won't feel any embarrassment, not even a slight ick, when I convert a three-line loop to thousands of instructions just to make it faster. I have no shame to go to great lengths of optimization or to do the dirtiest tricks. And if you don't want me to, maybe for a day or two, I'll behave and do it the way you like. I can transform the methods I'm using whenever you want, without even changing a single line of your code. I can even show you how your code would look in assembly, on different processor architectures and different operating systems and in different assembly conventions if you'd like. Yes, all in seconds. Because, you know, I can; and you know, you can't.
附言:哦,顺便说一下,你没有使用你写的一半代码。我帮了你一个忙,把它扔了。
