vasm

vasm is a portable assembler that supports a wide range of CPU architectures. It is designed to be highly configurable and can be used for various purposes, including embedded systems development, retro computing, and general-purpose assembly programming. vasm is a command-line tool that takes source files written in assembly language and produces object files in different formats.

One of vasm's key features is its modular design. It consists of a core assembler engine and a set of backend modules, each responsible for generating object code for a specific processor or object file format. This modularity allows vasm to be easily extended to support new architectures or output formats without modifying the core assembler.

vasm supports a variety of assembly syntaxes, allowing users to choose the one they are most familiar with. It also offers extensive configuration options, enabling fine-grained control over the assembly process, including optimization levels, error reporting, and output details.

The assembler can produce object files in formats such as ELF, COFF, and raw binary. This flexibility makes it suitable for a wide range of projects. vasm is actively maintained and benefits from a community of users and developers who contribute to its improvement and expansion. Its portability and adaptability have made it a popular choice for developers working with diverse hardware platforms and assembly language requirements.
