hi all, is there an editor for GNU assembler that highlights the assembly commands, I have been using scite and it only highlights for "regular" assembly.
Thanks

Vim highlights GNU Assembly code pretty well. Keep in mind that most IDEs are utilized for a handful of languages, sometimes just one language even. A general-purpose programming editor will usually have more variety in the way of syntax highlighting.

I don't know whether it highlights GNU assembly, but from my experience, Notepad++ is better than SciTE.

SciTE can be customized. If you open up the language file you can modify the rules for what gets highlighted and what doesn't. The default is MASM, which I never use; changing it to NASM wasn't that bad, so I'm guessing GNU ASM won't be too bad either.

So can Notepad++. You need just to modify the "langs.xml" and "langs.model.xml" which are located in the Notepad++ program's directory (I think the two files have the same contents; probably for backup purposes); those files have all the instructions and register names for assembly.

Though I don't really understand XML files.
