What is an Intel-style assembler? --Abdull 21:23, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

I believe that refers to the common syntax mov eax,3 as opposed to AT&T style (GNU as).-- Armslurp 18:41, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

"On the other hand, it makes it very hard to maintain a project that consists of multiple separately compiled source files, or mixed-language projects"

Fasm can make object files which can be linked by both gnu's linker ( ld ) and microsofts linker ( link ) that I am aware of, and no doubt others too. So I would respectfully dispute this claim.

Yes, it can produce object files. But problem is SSSO principe, saying these object files are only controlled by source code, it's (almost) not possible to affect them from command line. For example if you want to define extra symbol (like "DEBUG") for project, you must edit every file and add definition. This is kind of "maintaining" i was mentioning.

This is possible to circumvent to some extent, but not completely, and using tricky workarounds just isn't the best "solution" Vid512 21:50, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Should wasm.ru be in the links?

It’s not only a fasm message board, it’s a site about assembly in general. A wonderful site, but… I doubt it should be mentioned in this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.21.43.222 (talk) 16:03, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

I doubt it too. WASM is dedicated to all sorts of assembler and low level programming, nothing special about FASM.Stiver (v.2) 11:39, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
