hello fasm, is it possible to do a standard C language compiler using the macroinstruction mechanism to insterpret first the C syntax, and second, change it in PIC hex file.
if possible, how to proceed? read the manual, done, read examples, done, but understand any? nope!

thanks.

I strongly doubt that the macros will be powerful enough to do it. Just try to make a macro that decodes hashes and curly brackets and I think you will see the problem.

revolution,

I have a strong feeling that fasm interpretive layer is Turing-complete, thus it's possible to write fasm source which will compile C source (as usual, file "hello.c" Wink

).

edfed,

Selecting wrong tools to solve a problem can easily create unnecessary problems by the way. lex/yacc or back-end for gcc (if you don't want to dive so deep in C, and probably there is one already).

Perhaps if you use a myriad of load/store/virtual, but it becomes very complicated. I discovered this with the RSA, SHA and RIJNDAEL macros sets. Would it not just be easier to write a stand-alone interpreter in ASM? Or better still, just use GCC, VC, BCC, or any other of the free compilers!

But writing compilers in FASM is alot of fun... Cool

Yes, I agree. And I already suggested that very method. But writing it in fasm macro language would likely have a high frustration/fun ratio.
