Good library/libraries for datastructures in assembler

Question

Are there any good libraries (preferably with commented source) for standard datastructures (Linked list, array list, queue, stack etc.) for x86 (or others) in Assembler ? I don't like to reinvent (and debug !) the wheel....

Answer 1

Why not just find a good C library and call it from your asm?

Or if you need "inline" functionality:

• Compile the functions you want to use into a Hello World program.
• Disassemble the program.
• Rewrite the assembly as asm/pre-processor macros.

Answer 2

You'd be best asking in one of the Assembler-specific groups rather than here. Try:

• the recently-released MASM32 SDK v10 which gives a link to the MASM Forum.
• the WinAsm site.

Google said there were some data structures demo-ed on Microsoft's MASM Samples page, but I didn't go hunting.

Another possibility is to check out HLA, the High Level Assembly Language. The blurb there is, in part,

Now you can enjoy all of the benefits of high-level and low-level languages, all rolled into a single language! HLA, the High-Level Assembler lets you write true low-level code while enjoying the benefits of high-level language programming. Don't let the name fool you; you can do anything with HLA that you can do with a traditional low-level assembler. All the same instructions are present, all the same low-level programming facilities are present. The difference between HLA and low-level assemblers is that you're not stuck using low-level programming paradigms when they're not needed. Watch your productivity soar when using HLA; and write far more efficient programs than you could using high-level languages.

IIRC, their support for data structures is quite good.
