Name

Nasm::X86 - Generate X86 assembler code using Perl as a macro pre-processor.

Synopsis

Write and execute x64 instructions using perl as a macro assembler as shown in the following examples.

Avx512 instructions

Use avx512 instructions to do 64 comparisons in parallel:

my $P = "2F";                                                                 # Value to test for
my $l = Rb 0;  Rb $_ for 1..RegisterSize zmm0;                                # 0..63
Vmovdqu8 zmm0, "[$l]";                                                        # Load data to test
PrintOutRegisterInHex zmm0;

Mov rax, "0x$P";                                                              # Broadcast the value to be tested
Vpbroadcastb zmm1, rax;

 {my $m = "k$c";
  Vpcmpub $m, zmm1, zmm0, $c;

 }

Dynamic string held in an arena

Create a dynamic byte string, add some content to it, write the byte string to stdout:

my $a = CreateByteString;                                                     # Create a string
my $b = CreateByteString;                                                     # Create a string
$a->q('aa');
$b->q('bb');
$a->q('AA');
$b->q('BB');
$a->q('aa');
$b->q('bb');
$a->out;
$b->out;
PrintOutNL;
is_deeply Assemble, <<END;                                                    # Assemble and execute

END

Process management

Start a child process and wait for it, printing out the process identifiers of each process involved:

Fork;                                                                         # Fork

  Mov rcx,rax;
  PrintOutRegisterInHex rcx;
 }

 };

#   rcx: 0000 0000 0003 0C60   #6 Pid of parent

Read a file

Read this file:

ReadFile(Vq(file, Rs($0)), (my $s = Vq(size)), my $a = Vq(address));          # Read file
$a->setReg(rax);                                                              # Address of file in memory
$s->setReg(rdi);                                                              # Length  of file in memory
PrintOutMemory;                                                               # Print contents of memory to stdout

my $r = Assemble(1 => (my $f = temporaryFile));                               # Assemble and execute
ok fileMd5Sum($f) eq fileMd5Sum($0);                                          # Output contains this file

Installation

The Intel Software Development Emulator will be required if you do not have a computer with the avx512 instruction set and wish to execute code containing these instructions. For details see:

https://software.intel.com/content/dam/develop/external/us/en/documents/downloads/sde-external-8.63.0-2021-01-18-lin.tar.bz2

The Networkwide Assembler is required to assemble the code produced For full details see:

https://github.com/philiprbrenan/NasmX86/blob/main/.github/workflows/main.yml

Execution Options

The Assemble(%options) function takes the following keywords to control assembly and execution of the assembled code:

To produce a named executable without running it, specify:

keep=>"executable file name"

To run the executable produced by Assemble(%options) without the Intel emulator, which is used by default if it is present, specify:

emulator=>0
