Hi All,
I've got around to putting together v1.0 of my "Assembler
Benchmark Generator" program. You can find it on the
"Assembler Developer's Kit" page on Webster at
http://webster.cs.ucr.edu/AsmTools/RollYourOwn/index.html.

This program generates various source files that you can
use to test the performance of various aspects of an
assembler. It currently supports the following assemblers:

* MASM/TASM
* HLA
* WASM (Open Watcom Assembler)
* FASM
* NASM
* Gas

Sooner or later I'll probably get around to posting
some results. They're really kind of interesting, actually.
When the Assembly Programmer's Journal gets back
underway I'll probably prepare an article for them on
this subject, as well.
Cheers,
Randy Hyde
