The Design and Development of a General Cross Assembling Capability.
Abstract
Conventional techniques used to write cross assemblers have been time consuming, three to six months to develop, and lacking in capability; i.e., macro capability, conditional assembly, and floating point representation. This thesis describes the design and development of a general cross assembling capability which reduces development time to a matter of weeks, or even days, while providing macro and conditional assembly capabilities and floating point representation. This capability is provided by a specially designed macro processor. The macro processor provides special directives enabling it to provide for the general cross assembling capability. Furthermore, the development of the macro processor proceeded in a direction aimed at making it a portable software product. As such, its successful implementation can prove to be cost effective for potential mini and micro computer users. (Author)
