If you make something for an amd, it will not work on anything BUT an amd. It has absolutly ZERO portabilty.
Maybe you're not understanding what portabilty means, portability means you could write a program on one machine, and it would work on many other different types. Asm is like the poster-child for non portabilty.... |
Iron_Cross, who was that post aimed at, may I ask ?
Samurai Eskimo ?
Yeah, I guess you are right. ASM is not portable because each ASM the language was created for each specific machine.
Well, I haven't started programming yet but I do know this much about ASM.
Now, can everyone understand that, it is not "wise" to jump into a language just because the others follow where the wind blows them and just learn it and waste your "hard space" on your brain without knowing the draw backs.
You should always ask as much questions you can, just like me, to evaluate a language before jumping in the learning wagon. :beard:
Anyway, as far as I know there are many Intel ASM too and many AMD.
So, which one you recommend ?
I don't want to write a software and then see it works on some and not on others. Bad for business, if you get me.
