Comment 16 for bug 579325

FWIW, there's a full 8085 assembler available at: http://sf.net/projects/sasm85

It's open source and could be easily integrated apparently: http://sasm85.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/sasm85/sasm85/

It seems, we would only need to link it into gnusim8085 and call two functions: pass1() and pass2() to assemble a source file, that would get rid of most limitations in the gnusim8085 assembler, see the main function here:

http://sasm85.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/sasm85/sasm85/sasm85.c?revision=1.1.1.1&view=markup

Maybe this should be added as an alternative to the existing assembler?

It also comes with documentation and additional examples
