Well, there are no casts in assembler per se - it's just a useful shorthand for calculating a member offset that will stay correct even if you rearrange the TSparseList class declaration which is a very nice BASM feature. So, assuming the offset to the FList member from the start of a TSparseList instance is 12 bytes (for arguments sakes), in AT&T syntax that would be: movl 12(%eax), %eax Purely out of curiousity, but why do you want the AT&T syntax equivalent? Is this for part of a Lazarus port? Also, I gather Freepascal will translate intel BASM syntax to AT&T syntax before passing it down the GNU toolchain. Maybe you could capture the intermediate result?
