D. W. Jones. Assembly Language as Object Code. Software - Practice
and Experience, 13, 8 (Aug.~1983). 715-725.


This paper shows that assembly language can be used as an object
code, and that an assembler can be used as a linker. All it takes
is a little care in designing the assembly language.


I'm fairly proud of the bibliography on this paper, it took a lot
of work to find relevant references, and I had to go back into some
fairly old stuff to find what I found. As a result, I was particularly
unhappy with one referee who thought that a weak point of the paper
was that half the references were over 10 years old. The referee
wondered if this was evidence that I wasn't current in the field.


I should note that one of my citations is to a paper that shows that
an appropriately designed object code can be used as an assembly
language -- the two papers make an interesting symmetrical pair.
