I am fairly new to assembly as far as being away from the hello world bits.
I have made an OS in asm(using fasm) and well, I can't stand my source, I cant tell where one bit begins and the other ends. My only way to really tell them apart is my 3 or so new lines I put between important parts(functions and whatnot)

Is there a proper way of indenting asm source? My best idea on what to do is just indent everywhere I have a global label and code following, but this still doesn't help inside the function

btw I don't think asm code consisting of a label(commonly used) and a ret are called functions, what would they be called? (I am use to C..)

hckr83: Perhaps looking how other asm coders indent their cource could help you to find your own style.

As far as I recall Dex4U uses nice and clear style in his sources. Smile
