>NAME</a></h1>
<p>as2c.pl - convert GNU Assembler listing to i386 code array</p>
<h1><a name="DESCRIPTION"
>DESCRIPTION</a></h1>
<p>The plan behind of <em>as2c.pl</em> is to create compiler independent machine code for an architecture.
Code in,
<i>e.g.,</i> MASM,
GAS,
NASM syntax doesn't fit all compilers.
Therefore <em>as2c.pl</em> translates GAS syntax to a bytestring,
which is then used as the asm code.</p>
<p><em>as2c.pl</em> is used very rarely.
Once the code is generated and checked in,
there's usually no need to change it later.</p>
