Measuring the Quality Characteristics of an Assembly Code on Embedded Platforms

Abstract

The paper describes the implementation of a programming tool for measuring the quality characteristics of an assembly code. The aim of this paper is to prove the usability of these metrics for evaluation of an assembly code's quality, which is generated by C Compiler for 32bit DSP architecture. The analysis of test results has shown that the compiler generates a good quality assembly code.
