Re: How to open a KDE window in Assembler ?

["Paul Carter" <pacman128@hotmail.com>]

I would second Robin's concerns. I've done a little KDE programming.
I see lots of problems with KDE and assembly. First of all, KDE uses
the QT C++ libraries. So you will need to understand C++ very well
to be able to write assembly that will work with QT. (Manually creating
vtables for instance.) Oh, and the binary object model for gnu C++ has 
changed recently, changing your assembly code for a new model is not going 
to be easy! Also, QT uses a metacompiler to handle signal
handlers (I think that's what it was for, it's been a while). So you
will have to know what the metacompiler does as well!
