    Executing ASM from VB

    You performance freaks should love this one.
    I didnt think it could be done, but when I looked at the code, it kind of dawned on me... doh

    Anyway, the code is not mine.
    I found it on psc.

    HEY!

    Plenderj, you forgot to say who told you about that code
    Code:
    Temp = Me.GetIQ()
'Error 9: Overflow
'DON'T PANIC! :eek:

    Nice done indeed. A nice example of getting the most out of VB!

    Yeah, but it was me who told Plenderj about it in that thread about programming languages

    He just 'forgot' to mention that
    Code:
    Temp = Me.GetIQ()

    Wow, I might even be starting a whole new era for VB and everyone thinks HE started it! I HATE YOU PLENDERJ!!!

    ASM was the first language since they programmed in opcodes directly, what makes you think you was there starting it?
    Use
    writing software in C++ is like driving rivets into steel beam with a toothpick.
    writing haskell makes your life easier:
    reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13
    To throw away OOP for low level languages is myopia, to keep OOP is hyperopia. To throw away OOP for a high level language is insight.

    yep, that was a whole new era, but we had too many of them to notice anything

    Hehe lol

    You got it all wrong: it's a new era for VB... in-line assembler!

    Temp = Me.GetIQ()

    no it's not inline asm, it's actually asm-script, no not even that, machinecode script because you execute runtime machinecode

    Hehe well, the example used APIs so I don't think that a new VB version will make it stop working

    What would you use this for? The only area where I think it would be useful is fast graphics routines (for games and painting programs)

    Temp = Me.GetIQ()

    Kids, kids, please...

    Ok... if anyone uses this, please post here the code because I'd love to see someone understand that sample The guy may be a genius but he's not very organized and probably never heard about "comments"

    (Did any of you ever look at a code sample made by me? It's 90% comments and 10% code! )

    Hey I'm reading a 3-pages article on assembler, it teaches you asm in 2 hours or so

    It's very good, if anyone's interested I can post a link

    Just go download Art Of Assembly. Its the best book on ASM availible. Its about 1500 pages (its a textbook, that was never published, as far as I know). You can find it if you do a search on google or yahoo.

    Yes, the article I mentioned is a bit too hard
    (Can't see how I'd use that in a real ASM program )

    ASM in 2 hours...
    If you can do that, I will give up my work immediately!!!

    ASM is the fine art of programming. It's a language where you can afford to apply GOTO statements, whow!

    Intel 80x86, Motorola 68x, Microchip PICxxx, IBM S/370 for mainframe, etc. This is yet a small list of some systems that aquire different assemblers. I'm doing the thing yet 6 years and I'm still learning newer stuff. So if one says that you can learn the assembly language in 2 hours...

    Hehe yeah, it only teaches you the basics: goto thingies, pointers, registries, how to make ifs and loops and all
