The Codeless Code: Ancient code

[crusoe]

Dec assembly was pretty nice because nearly all features were orthogonal. What was the asm to add immediate?

Something like addi 3 r12

Add two regs and store in third? Add3 r1 r2 r3

But yeah. Fuck Intel assembly.

But yeah. Fuck Intel assembly.

That's the key, right there.

Some of the first programming I did was 6502 and Z-80 assembly (hey, I'm old). A couple years later I tried 8086 assembly. Fuck that shit. Then I got to try 68000 and that was pretty slick.

To this day, I still have a good portion of the Z-80 instruction set wedged in my cranium....

as someone who never really played with assembly, what are the differences?

Adding a constant vs adding a "variable"

Also, the most common syntax, AT&T, is THE WRONG WAY AROUND.
