HLA is easier to follow than diffing to see what ASM gcc builds from C without flags to simplify the output bytecode. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36454485

"What is better "int 0x80" or "syscall" [or "sysenter" or VDSO] in 32-bit code on Linux?" https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12806584/what-is-better-... links to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12776340/system-calls-im... which links to the vDSO Wikipedia article, which explains that vDSO supports ASLR and is more portable than `int 80` (which is the old 32bit way to syscall)

MASM only works on Windows. NASM works on Lin/Mac/Win; there's also a nasm.exe. And, like MASM, NASM assembles Intel ASM syntax (unlike GNU Assembler (`gas`))
