1.1 About the ARM Developer Suite assemblers
ARM Developer Suite (ADS) has:
• a freestanding assembler, armasm
• an optimizing inline assembler built into the C and C++ compilers.
The language that these assemblers take as input is basically the same. However, there
are limitations on what features of the language you can use in the inline assemblers.
Refer to the Mixing C, C++, and Assembly Language chapter in ADS Developer Guide
for further information on the inline assemblers.
The remainder of this book relates mainly to armasm .
