AT&T syntax is a uniquely X86 thing.

#6Does any one here use a lot of assembly in their job? If so, what do you do?
I started getting fascinated about computer architecture a while back, but then I saw how dead embedded programming was in my area.

#7In case you're interested in seeing a project that does something, I wrote an IRC bot in ARM: https://github.com/wyc/armbot

I work on PC firmware (i.e. BIOS) and do have the pleasure of writing and debugging 16-bit x86 (although that's not my whole job description).
If you or anyone else is intrigued, we are hiring! https://nvidia.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/NVIDIAExternalCar...

Not for writing code but for reading C/C++ compiler output during performance optimization and debugging sessions.

Since you ask, I use lots of assembly level programming for digital audio signal processing. Some ARM instructions offer special DSP specific features like saturation and fractional arithmetic that have no equivalent int C, so it justifies using assembly. Smaller ARM cores without NEON offer some kind of miniature SIMD by operating on two 16-bit or four 8bit numbers, these can speed up things as well. To take full advantage of these it is best to write some portion of code in assembly. I usually wrap a processing sequence into a gcc-style inline assembly macro, this way I can easily compare with a C-only macro and maintain portability, and it saves me from having to deal with the complete instruction set and calling conventions.
