[comp.sys.mips] better assembler for MIPS?

brock@tuvie (Inst.f.Prakt.Info 1802) (07/28/89)

I am writing an intermediate code interpreter using direct threaded
code for a DEC-3100. Using direct threaded code it is necessary,
that code sequences starts at fixed locations. Missing an .org
pseudo op like in 68000 assemblers i use the .space pseudo op. But
it is impossible to generate an absolute expression using the
difference of two relocatable-symbols. Further it is a very bad
choice to use the dollar sign for registers in an assembler which
uses m4 as optional preprocessor. So I must mix m4 and c-
preprocessor commands. My only assembler programming reference is
R2000 RISC Architecture written by Gerry Kane. Does anybody know an
assembler or preprocessor for the DEC-3100, which has an org pseudo
op, can evaluate the difference of two relocatable symbols and uses
r0 to r31 for registers. Does anybody know further literature.
                           
Thanks in advanve
