SPARC Assembly Language

Question

I am trying to run a sample Sparc assembly language , but I am not even sure where to start. I tried vim macro or m4 example.m but I dont know where and how to compile it. I searched the internet, read articles, but none of them mentioned how to start coding.

for example, I would like to type this assembly language :

.global main
 main:  save    %sp, -96, %sp   

 mov    PROMPT, %o0 
 call   writeChar
 nop
 call   readInt

what commend should I use to compile and run ? (using Linux)

Are you asking how to use an editor to type in assembler code? — Nikolai Fetissov, Feb 01 '13 at 18:29

You don't "compile" assembly code, you "assemble" it! That said, your compiler driver can probably do it. A common filename extension for assembly source code is .s, so maybe something like:

cc -o example example.s

Then, if it worked, you'll have an executable named example to run, test, and debug.
