What is the fastest Amiga assembler
I tested ArgASM 1.09e, AsmPro 1.20b, Basm 2.0, Devpac 3.18 and Vasm.
The fastest I found is probably Basm then ArgASM, then AsmPro then Devpac and Vasm. ProASM crashed so I can't test. is there other assemblers that can beat Basm ? |

I don't know if it can beat Basm, but PhxAss is usually quite fast.

Years ago when I started fixing asm-pro, I tested it against devpac, barfly, and vasm (maybe even phxasm, I think I gave up because of way too much unsupported stuff and vasm being a successor).
Test subject was asm-pro source code, about 1.1mb at the time, not counting the includes. Asm-pro itself was fastest, barfly was ~2x slower, devpac much slower, and vasm veeeery much slower. Each of these has its own strengths/weaknesses, and is designed accordingly, so that's that. And that was without 1000+ micro optimizations I had made afterwards (btw, it could be ~25% faster by changing the hashing function but that would break some other functionality so it was never included). I did take a look at proasm some time later, but there were too many errors (even after "cleaning up" the source for barfly) so I gave up. With only pass1 + full errorlog it was about as fast as barly. Never seen arg-asm, now I have to check it out ;P. |

Back in the days of A500 and Kick/WB 1.3 we always used the SEKA Assembler ... really don´t know how this plays today

From my memory Phxass was the fastest Amiga assembler.
Of course it can be dependent to used optimization too. I used opt 0 (no optimization) or something similar, I dont remember after many years. But assembling speed is/was for me less important. |

This seems to be an odd thing to wonder about today. Are any of them not fast enough?

@a/b thanks, did your work included in AsmPro 1.20b?
@karlos, i guess you are a bit off topics |

The fastest assembler is surely a cross assembler on your PC/Mac on a shared drive

@alexh. Yeah obviously, that’s why I put native tools to avoid the confusion, I guess that citing Vasm lead you in a wrong direction.
