    applications of asm today?

    I'm just wondering, EXCLUDING the people who write device drivers and parts of operating systems, AND embeded stuff.... is there any demand for people who know ASM? any applications of it besides those areas?

    It is sometimes a + if you know some if you apply for a game programming job. Except that I can't see much use for it. Unless you work for Intel or AMD though.

    Anything that is demanding of performance or size, you'll find a demand for asm. That's why you see inline ASM in visual C++. =P

    You may not need it, but it is good to be familiar with it. It can help with debugging in C/C++, even if you don't write in the language.

    lol what do you mean? inline asm? that isnt possible as far as I know
    plus if there is really a need to write asm for performance, then you probably shouldnt be using vb (vb6 at least)

    Well there is a hacky way of using inline asm in visual basic but I wouldn't recommend it. Instead you should write a dll and call it from visual basic.

    Ah. Your post here? I'm "chemicalNova" there. That's what I use nowadays, since I'm not 12 years old anymore and don't think my username is as l33t as it used to be

    Yea think that post covers 2 hacky ways of adding inline crap to vb. One is via variable and the other is a external program that adds it to the compiled exe.
