After several years, a new update of ESA is available. This update fixes the outstanding issues and has better documentation. It can be downloaded Aminet
ESA is a code pre-processor that allows to enrich M68k assembly sources with typical higher-level constructions. Its job is to take "enriched" sources and to output standard MC68020 assembly sources. In short, ESA offers: * logical and mathematical expressions; * program flow control constructions; * procedures and functions; * includes handling; * nesting of constructions; * possibility of writing several assembly instructions on a single line; leaving the programmer practically free to fiddle with registers, variables, etc. as per usual. In practice, a sort of "extra-strong" assembly is defined - hence the name "ESA", used for both the tool and the language itself.
