Assembly Language Programming For The Vax 11

This is a two-part text about assembly language programming in the VAX/MACRO language. Unlike texts that are concerned solely with the assembly language itself, this addresses the design of assemblers, macroprocessors, and linkers. Part I focuses on the fundamentals of assembly language programming in the VAX/MACRO language. It is aimed at the beginning assembly language programmer, conforming with current ACM recommendations concerning these courses. Part II addresses the same subjects from a systems viewpoint, most especially assembler, macroprocessor, and linker design.

Detailed coverage of architecture/hardware topics such as CPU, microprocessors, large computer architecture and fault tolerance architecture makes this a valuable reference. For computer science and electrical engineering professionals as well as VAX assembly language programmers.

Structured VAX Assembly Language Programming, Second Edition, provides a complete, up-to-date introduction to VAX programming and the fundamentals of VAX architecture. The book emphasizes sound, structured programming techniques that are modelled in a number of new program examples. The text also features complete chapters on RMS, and the VAX VMS-debugger, including a new discussion of using the debugger in the screen mode. This is a comprehensive, well-organized text and reference for both students and professional programmers.Features * A complete chapter on RMS including the VMS sub-system used in high-level VAX languages for input and output. * Expanded chapter on the VAX-VMS debugger that shows how to use commands efficiently to moniter program execution, and how to use the debugger in screen mode. * Expanded coverage of VAX architecture fundamentals. * A structured approach to assembly language programming that reinforces structured programming concepts. * Many new program examples.
