[cctalk] Re: Recommendations for 8051 software tools?

Paul Holm is completely justified in recommending gasp as a macro mangler, as he did to me a year ago, it builds and it works. I use it as a front end, via a makefile, to a meta-asembler for developing microcode. The meta-assembler an AmdAsm clone https://github.com/hveit01/amdasm is a c++ / lex / yacc marvel which can be tweaked to meet specific requirements; but out ofthe box it lacks a macro mangler. Orthogonally, rather than use macros why not use RegEx and your favorite programming language to fix up the source code's endian issues.
