What are the benefits of integrating the macro processor into the first pass of the assembler?

Show Answers

Certain functionalities only need to be developed once.Programmers gain enhanced flexibility by utilizing all assembler features alongside macros.Functions are merged, eliminating the need for intermediate files between the macro processor and assembler.All the above advantages apply.

Explanation

Integrating the macro processor in pass 1 offers multiple benefits: (A) avoids duplicating function implementations, (B) provides programmers with greater flexibility to use assembler capabilities with macros, and (C) combines functions to remove the necessity of intermediate files. Therefore, all these advantages are valid.
