Sounds close enough to Motorola syntax, apart from using spaces as argument delimiters at times instead of commas only. IIRC the GCC syntax was as shitty as it could get, no point considering it. If you had a dps machine it would be a minimal effort (hours) to make have this go through my A32 assembler. It does not understand (sp), just (a7), but the syntax is this. Then this code will also assemble/compile for power (once it goes through a32) via vpa.
But I am talking hours from my point of view, 7k lines are not that many and I have been living in/creating that environment for decades. And we have yet to put a general purpose dps based machine on the market.
