linking assembler code to C via C library

[Neil Morris]

Hi
I would like to know what the standard way to write a custom C library
that links to assembler code?
The reason is that, apart of been curious, I would like to know what format
the C language uses to sent and receive data
between assembler and after langauges?

thanks
Neil Morris

Dunno how standard it is, but a way is to compile 'C' that implements the
headers for the assembly routines into assembler, then borrow from that for
how parameters are organized on the stack.

There is no standard way to do it so you will have to look in to the
specifics of your implementation. These specifics are not topical here,
so ask in a group dedicated to your implementation.

No, there isn't. The C language doesn't know anything at all about any
other language. Nada. Nothing. Not even assembler.

Write a C program with a similar effect to the desired assembly program,
or at least takes the same arguments and returns the same type of value.

Compile it with a C compiler that will print the generated assembly
code. As you presumably know how to write assembly code for the
desired machine, it shouldn't be hard to read it. Write the new code to
match the calling sequence in the compiled C code.

Most other answers will be off topic for this newsgroup.
