Hi,

I'm porting a 3D game engine of mine from WinAPI to SDL. I originally wrote this engine in C for Windows with the OpenWatcom compiler, and I'm now writing this port on Debian Linux with GCC. My original game engine resorted to inline assembly code on a few occasions to give me more control over the mixing of 24bit colors. Anyway this code is Intel assembly and after only a few minutes of looking my first impression is that GCC can only handle AT&T/UNIX assembly code.

So, is it at all possible to get GCC to read Intel assembly code? I would prefer not to have to convert this code back to C, and I really do not want to try and learn UNIX assembly code.

I dont think you can get GCC to eat up Intelasm...not without huge effort anyway

But as far as I remember theres only one real difference between intel and at&t - you have to swap the source and destination adresses.

Well, this sucks. Turns out there are a lot of differences between Intel asm and AT&T asm. I still don't care to learn at&t asm.

Rewrite GAS, the GCC sends your assembly code right away to GAS so thats the point you need to change.

Really?
Since when does GAS support intelsyntax?
Seems im a bit out of date here...

No it doesn't, but if Redeemer wants support for the intel syntax, he has to change GAS and not the GCC.
But I agree, Intel and AT&T syntax is pretty similar, except of the swapped source and destination and the % that AT&T requires.
