isn't this just ARM assembly, is there such a thing called M1 assembly (genuine question)?
- fulafel 6y agoYes. I guess the author is (successfully) going along with the general popular hype that paints it as a new architecture.
- _ph_ 6y agoI am certain, he isn't. The book also has a special chapter for iOS, explaining the changes needed to what is shown in the book to run the code with the iOS operation system and tooling.
- _ph_ 6y agoYes, it is just ARM assembly. But the tooling (Clang vs GCC) and the operation system differ, so the code from the book won't work without changes on a Mac. The book already contains a chapter for using the ARM assembly on iOS, because you have to do the same changes vs. running the sample code on Linux. The linked blog posts lists these changes. They are not large, but significant enough, that someone learning how to code in ARM assembly will be thankful for adjusted example code.
