Hello paul, sp> Instead I would design a super assembler (I think Atari did this) where you sp> put in what you want to do sp> , like shift so many times, then the super assembler spits out the optimal sp> assembly language for the purpose. sp> I think that this would be easier to implement than having an "optimizer" sp> reverse engineer your assembly code. sp> Microsoft MASM does this for the 8086. They called it their "smart" sp> assembler. well, in a way, ca65 already works that way.... take the predefined macros for conditional jumps for eg. .... however, the point of having a "real" optimizer is beeing able to optimize across those "atomic" instructions (or better, one line of assembler code) -- Best regards, groepaz mailto:groepaz_at_gmx.net ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list send mail to majordomo_at_musoftware.de with the string "unsubscribe cc65" in the body(!) of the mail.
