the beauty of asm #2
::: first of all i'd suggest <a href="http://www.arm.com/pdfs/DUI0068B_ADS1_2_Assembler.pdf">this</a>
ARM assembler guide for everyone! it's really great an has some nice ideas, and you'll see why ARM
is a very <b>very</b> nice architecture. some example:<p/>
conditional execution - the very nice example on in section 2.5.4<br/>
calculating gcd - the code produced by gcc:<p/>
gcd CMP r0, r1; gcd with euclidean algo<br/>
BEQ end<br/>
BLT less<br/>
SUB r0,r0,r1<br/>
B gcd<br/>
less<br/>
SUB r1,r1,r0<br/>
B gcd<br/>
end<p/>
branches branches and branches.... the code is seven instructions long... but why not use ARM's 
conditional execution feature:<p/>
gcd<br/>
CMP r0,r1<br/>
SUBGT r0, r0, r1 ; greater<br/>
SUBLT r1, r1, r0 ; less<br/>
BNE gcd<p/>
WOW!!!!! now i've realized why is it so important for every motherfuckin' programmers outthere to know
and understand asm, before starting to be a Java, C#, etc guru...
