Okay I did some looking into with the code you have supplied me with, but what if it is not a generic PPC processor. How can I tell the computer what the instruction sets are? That I just can;t seem to do. Nor get a assembly program of my own to run.
With the code I have looked at I really saw no included compiler directives that had anything to do with assembly. How does the complier know how to compile the assembly language included. Also How can I create a project with assembly?
I'm going to as well read apple's documentation on the assembly compiler, but I does seem to be too informative, well with xcode at least and with the adding of you own instruction sets.
Microprogramming assemblers and what not don't seem to be to available on the Mac, is this because mircoprogramming is for CISC chips and Apple uses RISC. I wanted to know about microcoding because I thought it would be cool to add the computer from our text book's instruction sets to a assembler on my computer. So I could write programs and be precise instead of doing it by hand which is what we do in class, but I can't run them, I can only compile. Assembly program I would like to run.

I noticed something about the project below, as I released it some time ago - it works properly as-is, but if in Xcode you select 'Project -> Upgrade All Targets in Project to Native' it will break the project. In that case, it would be best to alter Xcode's .nib to read instead 'Move Rule Goalposts to Cause Build Failures' or 'Insert More Development Time to Deal With Another Xcode Version Feature'.

Here is an example you can use to get started in writing PowerPC assembly language with Xcode that I have made publicly available:

I have a question about microprograming and assembly with xCode. I
just don't really understand how I would compile my micro code or
assembly code. I can't seem how it works with xCode. I've tried, I have
the assembler plugin for xcode, but I have no idea on how to use it. My
main question is; what do i do with instruction sets? How do I tell
the assmbler the whats will be in the control memory? How would I tell
the microcode assembler and just for assembly what the instruction sets
are?
Thanks for all help
