Assembly Language forum
-
To add to what Richard has said, since assembly is so little used these days opening a dedicated forum for it would probably be counter productive - a seldom visited forum is worse than no forum at all as it gives hope you might get an answer there quickly. Posting questions in QA opens them to everybody which means a higher chance of an answer.

Then we should remove some of the fori... There are a few that receive a message per year or every several months.
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

That's probably a good idea.

I think CP is more a Windows coding site than a low level site. I have in the past asked a few assembly related questions and got some answers (not always the best) I think the main issue if you are trying to code a windows program in assembly you are going to be on some strong drugs (or at least when you are finished you will be).:thumbsup:

I tried to start a PLC Forum (Siemens LAD is similar to assembly) and there was very little resonance back then when I asked, so it never went live.

I think that the only assembly questions I have ever seen here, are all homework related. I don't recall any that looked as if they might be (part of) some real world project.
I suppose it is related that there is no dedicated place and hence people don't think it will be attended. In my case, I would/could have written some stuff to fill the ground structure (and I suppose Joan M would have contributed as well)... Articles about PLCs, X-Axis Robots, Peripherical units and so on. Tips with the functions I have build over the years (that I suppose every other good PLC Programmer already has) but... As I said, it didn't receive so much attention back then.

PLC's good idea, I would be interested, but have only used them in passing mostly for test rigs... (in companies that either had them or would bye them). Did a bit of ladder and some assembly (6800/6502 ish, 8 bit) one of those things would like to learn more don't have the time. Any chance of a link?

Glad to explain if you need something :)

No need yet, thanks all the same...

I guess that 95% of those who really need to do assembler coding are writing hardware drivers. You will probably find those in the "Hardware & Devices" forum. (There are those who occasionally dive down to assembler just out of curiosity and to learn a little more about how hardware works. I am one of them. We don't 'need' to do assembler. And then there are those who still believe that through assembler coding they can make their program run to completion in 20 nanoseconds less time (or even more than 20 ns less time) through assembly coding. Unless they are also in the first group, they very rarely 'need' to do assembler.) Even though "Hardware & Devices" sounds like an electronics forum, I am reasonably sure that the visitors of that forum will provide some assistance with assembler related problems. If you problems are related to how to program the use of a specific hardware feature (say the transactional memory features of ARM), it certainly is the right place. If you want to air thoughts about different instruction set architectures, H&D would also be an appropriate forum.
