A New Approach to Assembly Level Programming
Sayed Mohammad Ebrahim Sahraeian, Bijan Vosoughi Vahdat · 2007
In assembly level programming we need to know the mnemonic of each assembly instruction. But it is not so easy to remember mnemonics of all instructions, while the instruction set of Pentium processor includes 280 instructions. In this paper we introduce a new programming approach to assembly level programming in which most important assembly instructions (about 100 instructions) can be substituted for simple equivalents. These equivalent instructions are based on simple familiar operators and make a large simplification in assembly programming. This new language has a free format structure and hence is called Free Format Assembly Language. Evaluating the performance of this language using a developed VC++ program has shown that it is a good substitute for current assembly language.
