89 the Coco3. I finally started working on that project around the beginning of
7987ee447833 Added generated files for release
lost@l-w.ca
parents:
diff changeset
90 2006. I had a number of assemblers I could choose from. Eventually, I settled
7987ee447833 Added generated files for release
lost@l-w.ca
parents:
diff changeset
91 on one and started tinkering. After a while, I realized that assembler was not
7987ee447833 Added generated files for release
lost@l-w.ca
parents:
diff changeset
92 going to be sufficient due to lack of macros and issues with forward references.
7987ee447833 Added generated files for release
lost@l-w.ca
parents:
diff changeset
93 Then I tried another which handled forward references correctly but still did
7987ee447833 Added generated files for release
lost@l-w.ca
parents:
diff changeset
94 not support macros. I looked around at other assemblers and they all lacked
7987ee447833 Added generated files for release
lost@l-w.ca
parents:
diff changeset
95 one feature or another that I really wanted for creating my operating system.</P

97 >The solution seemed clear at that point. I am a fair programmer so I figured
7987ee447833 Added generated files for release
lost@l-w.ca
parents:
diff changeset
98 I could write an assembler that would do everything I wanted an assembler to
7987ee447833 Added generated files for release
lost@l-w.ca
parents:
diff changeset
99 do. Thus the LWASM probject was born. After more than two years of on and off
7987ee447833 Added generated files for release
lost@l-w.ca
parents:
diff changeset
100 work, version 1.0 of LWASM was released in October of 2008.</P

102 >As the aforementioned operating system project progressed further, it became
7987ee447833 Added generated files for release
lost@l-w.ca
parents:
diff changeset
103 clear that while assembling the whole project through a single file was doable,
7987ee447833 Added generated files for release
lost@l-w.ca
parents:
diff changeset
104 it was not practical. When I found myself playing some fancy games with macros
7987ee447833 Added generated files for release
lost@l-w.ca
parents:
diff changeset
105 in a bid to simulate sections, I realized I needed a means of assembling
7987ee447833 Added generated files for release
lost@l-w.ca
parents:
diff changeset
106 source files separately and linking them later. This spawned a major development
7987ee447833 Added generated files for release
lost@l-w.ca
parents:
diff changeset
107 effort to add an object file support to LWASM. It also spawned the LWLINK
7987ee447833 Added generated files for release
lost@l-w.ca
parents:
diff changeset
108 project to provide a means to actually link the files.</P
