getLabelString

public java.lang.String getLabelString(Label label)

Return the String representing the label.

Specified by:

getLabelString in class Assembler

assembleLabel

public void assembleLabel(Label label,
                          Emit emit)

Generate a label in the assembly output.

Specified by:

assembleComment

public void assembleComment(java.lang.String comment,
                            Emit emit)

Insert the assembler representation of the comment into the output stream.

Specified by:

assembleComment in class Assembler

assembleRegister

public java.lang.String assembleRegister(int reg)

Convert a register number into its assembly language form.

Specified by:
