Basically, are there any?
I’m tempted to think they do exist. For example, a template method can be implemented as a series of “jumps”, where the target of a jump is specified “externally”. Singleton will be just a well-known location in memory/code, etc.
I’m by no means an assembly expert, so these examples might turn out to be completely impossible, but still.
Assembly language is more about “tricks” than design patterns. While high-level design patterns can still be thought of and brought into play, most assembly guys are more concerned with clock cycles and exploiting tricks of instructions.
For example, in x86 it is quicker to do
xor eax, eax, than it is to domov eax, 0.The point I am making (thanks for the downvotes!) is that with Assembly Language you want to focus more on the minor detail than you do the big design picture. Just as you wouldn’t focus on fine details of execution speed in a high level language.
