New #blog post. Let's write a peephole optimizer for #QBE that operates on #AArch64 assembly code. Three years ago, we did this for #AMD64 assembly code. But now that I have Arm machines, we can replicate the effort for another CPU architecture.

I wanted to find a small niche hobby coding project that approximately nobody would care about.
I'm tooting about it now, and I don't expect you to care.
I want to use m68k-linux-gnu-as cross-assembler, but it doesn't support the Motorola syntax the original Amiga tools did.
How hard can it be to write a preprocessor that converts vasm mot syntax module compatible assembly to GNU as?!
Turns out, less trivial than I thought.

This is handy for studying ROMs and binary only programs: a Z80 disassembler that tries to identify string data and labels.

Me, looking at the 8008/8080/Z80 instruction sets: "bah, why do you need conditional calls and conditional returns when the conditional jumps are already more than enough?"
Me, coding in 68000: "I really with I had conditional calls and conditional returns, relying on conditional jumps makes the code harder to read than necessary."
I am never happy.

As I don't have any new project in the pipe, I spent my saturday going back to see if I have progressed in #6502 #assembly, and gave a bit of attention to my #Quicktake for #Apple2 JPEG decoder.
I think I progressed: decoding a Quicktake 200 photo now /only/ takes 190 seconds (3 minutes 10), a 25% improvement and a whole minute less than previously!
