Re: [swift-evolution] A proposal for inline assembly

I feel like inline assembly is a very niche idea. Inline assembly is supported by c and by extension objective-c. //file.h void aCFunction(); //file.m void aCFunction() { int a=10, b; asm ("movl %1, %%eax; movl %%eax, %0;" :"=r"(b) /* output */ :"r"(a) /* input */ :"%eax" /* clobbered register */

@Chris, I'm having trouble understanding your message. Do you mean that you hope to implement this soon, or that you don't intend to? @Félix, no, however I do think it would a good feature to have if you need to optimize certain lines of code beyond preset optimizer passes. On 12/3/16, Chris

Do you have a use case for writing a whole assembly program in a .swift file rather than in an assembly file? > Le 3 déc. 2016 à 15:12, Ethin Probst via swift-evolution > a écrit : > > Hello all, > My name is Ethin and I am new to this community. However, I

[swift-evolution] A proposal for inline assembly

Hello all, My name is Ethin and I am new to this community. However, I certainly am no newbie when it comes to software development, and have emailed all of you to file a proposal of inline assembly in Swift. The assembly language would be within an asm {...} block. The asm keyword could also take
