: How about a compiler. It doesn't have to spit out assembly language
: directly, and might be able to do a better job in some cases if it could
: write an object file directly.

: Yes, but in this case does the compiler internally create assembly code
: and then parse that assembly code to spit out the object file?
: Maybe there is a compiler that does so, but I would think it would just
: keep the insns internally in some form and not deal with assembly code at all.
Well one compiler I worked on did this, but it did have to include a
disassembler so that it could support the -S option.
: (or am I missing your point?)

: I'm not sure but I think so.
