Title: NASM Target Architectures
Post by: nobody on September 13, 2005, 02:43:54 PM

I was curious as to whether NASM will have support for non-x86 architectures (e.g. ARM, or 68k) in the future.

Well... my crystal ball is broken... Doesn't seem probable.

Best,

Never say never... but IMO it's unlikely.

Fundamentally NASM is modular (nasm, nasmlib,
insnsa, eval, float, labels, listing, outform + all the
output formats, as well as parser and assemble).
However, a number of x86-centric assumptions are
spread throughout the code.
