Calling assembler from other languages
- [Instructor] Modern C compilers are able to produce extremely fast and compact code, close to what could be done in native assembler. Nevertheless, there are still times when you might want to call an assembler routine from a high-level language. For example, to manage interfacing with hardware or use specialized processor instructions. We've already seen how we can use an assembler to create machine code which can be directly executed in a high-level language program. Now let's take a look at how we can call an assembler routine from a high-level language. For this section of the course, we'll use the Windows subsystem for Linux and take a look at a Linux-based assembler called NASM.
