Software Engineers Handbook/Language Dictionary/Assembly Template

Note: All assembly language sample code depends on the developing environment assembler and operating system. <Assembly Language Name Here> <Describe the language, include a brief history if possible.> Type <Describe if this is CISC,RISC...> Execution Entry Point <Describe how/where the program is started i.e. 0? How to get it to start somewhere else?> Registers <Describe the number of registers available and their use. i.e. general purpose, stack pointer...> General Syntax <Try to give a high level description of the contents of a typical statement i.e. JMP 37 > Comments <Describe and show the syntax for comments, or if comments are allowed> Interrupts <Describe how interrupts work with this language and how to program for them.> Conditional Statements <Describe the conditional statements in text and present examples. (put a space in the front of the line to format as code)> Input/Output <How does input and output work? Are they memory mapped or instructions? Describe how to output Hello world! or similar output program.> Indirection <How many layers of address indirection are allowed? Show example code.> Physical Structure <Describe how the files, libararies, and parts are typically divided and arranged. Do they have typical file extensions in the various forms?> Useful Commands <List code and descriptions of particularly useful commands for this assembly language.> Tips <Please include tips that make it easier to switch to this language from another language.> Sources <Where can you get assemblers, cross assemblers and simulators for this assembly language?> Web References <List additional references on the web. Please include for what level reader the references are appropriate. (beginner/intermediate/advanced) Where is the code set on the web?> Books and Articles <List additional books and articles that may be helpful. Please include for what level reader the references are appropriate. (beginner/intermediate/advanced)>
