It looks much more sane on ARM and MIPS. On x86 most people seem to use NASM for non-inline assembler.

  Yep, as we used TASM and MASM before it. That is another thing that you remind me of, the macro assembler capabilities of non-UNIX assemblers.

    Actually, GAS can do full C-preprocessor via GCC. Just call your file file.S (big S). You can't really get a better macro system than that.

      Actually you can, C pre-processor is a toy compared with what TASM, MASM, NASM and other macro-assemblers are capable of, think Lisp macros and metaprogramming at assembly time.

        At that point, why use assembler anyway? And how readable is that code?
