Books For Making An Assembler.

[2-Bit Chip]

Any ideas, books, or tutorials for making an assembler (x86, 32-bit)?

i'm not familiar with any, i'm sure google/bing can retrieve some fruit. But writing your own assembler is a massive project, that takes alot of times. Plus there's already plenty of great existing assemblers, that if you need to add any functionality to,or even make your own new language off of, you can write a preprocessor, which isn't hard.

Ooh, yes! I do plan to add functionality, simplicity. So, there is no real need to make an assembler?

But some of the functionality I plan adding edits the program itself, and not just change the language around.

EDIT: I could probably find a work-around.

writing assemblers can be bad for you - lol
Travis was working on one a while back, and we haven't seen him since   :(

If you want to add some specific functionality to a good assembler, why not take a look at jwasm's sources ?
