In this post, Pokun appears to claim that the owner of patents and/or integrated circuit design rights in a processor has the privilege to set the assembly language syntax that programmers ought to use when targeting that processor. For example, programmers ought to use MOS syntax for WDC 65C816 and Hudson Soft HuC6280 and not for Sony SPC700 because WDC and Hudson Soft endorsed MOS syntax in published datasheets and Sony did not.
Pokun's answer raised the following question in my mind:
We the people of the homebrew community know the name of SM83 (the Game Boy's CPU core) and its Z80 syntax from the 1996 edition of Sharp's Microcomputer Databook. How do we know what the SPC700 and Super FX mnemonics are?
