		pjmlp on Nov 13, 2022 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: AT&T Syntax versus Intel Syntax (2001) In a dumb idea to depend only on GAS, before it had good support for Intel syntax, I ported some code from Intel syntax into AT&T many moons ago, quite dumb idea, if i was doing it today I would have listed nasm or yasm as a requirement and be done with it.

I'm pretty sure all this predates the existence of gas

Only slightly. System V/386 was 1987, first release of GAS was 1989 (and GCC got 386 support in 1988)

Intel format was pre-unix (probably 8080) ... and AT&T of course was from the late 70s, originally from PDPs

I am pretty sure of its status about 25 years ago.
