I'm new to asm, and I've been learning with the nasm assembler, mainly because that's what the tutorials have been using.
But what's the Jow Forums approved assembler for x86?

if it's not an "install gantoos" meme, you're in the wrong place

Bummer, man.

nasm is the Jow Forums approved assembler user

I don't believe that for a goddamned second.

GAS

i didn't use nasm when i was learning assembly, i was using GAS, which is the GNU assembler, which uses AT&T syntax, for example:
_start:
movl $1, %eax
movl $0, %ebx
int $0x80
the above example moves the value 1 into register eax and value 0 into ebx and calls the operating system to terminate the program, with AT&T syntax the operand direction is from left to right which makes more sense to me than the intel syntax which is from right to left.

Dude just use GCC as.
Cameron Baker
why not
Samuel Gray
when you assign value to a variable, do you do
a = 1
or
1 = a
? ATT is retarded.
Carter Clark
Totally. Intel syntax always bothered me
GAS can support both now too fwiw
Nicholas Wood
there is not assignment operator like '=' in asm, with asm you are using the processor's instructions directly, nonetheless, you can put data into registers and into memory locations with the mov instruction.
the mov instruction COPIES data from the source to the destination, remember that.
also, think of your registers as your variables, eAx and eBx and eCx, those are the 32 bit registers and can hold at the most 32 bits of data.
Juan Ward
When you -move- something however, you do say "I'll put this here" don't you?
AT&T syntax makes more sense in this case as it follows the same logic as your brain
Asher Lopez
The intel syntax is common in the Microsoft world, AT&T is the standard in Linux/Unix.
Anything Microsoft is dogshit and the people involved second rate. They will attempt to lie and shame you into using their shit. You should adjust to us. Be professional. It is bs. They don’t know wtf they are doing anyway.
William Hall
if you want i can teach you what i know about asm, 1 to 1 lessons
Jackson Green
I used nasm for my bootloader and some early kernel stuff
but I have converted it all to GAS now, at&t syntax is gud.
Kevin Carter
Thanks all for the info! This is all very helpful. So should I ditch nasm/intel syntax for now, and study GAS and AT&T syntax instead?
Ayden Robinson
no it follows the same logic as other programming languages (sort of like memory move functions in C). i'd like my languages behave as similar to each other as possible thank you.

yasm assembler
ld for linking and loading
Eli Lee
FASM. If you use GAS, kys

FASM is part of Russian secret services botnet

Yuck.

nasm with x86util and x86inc

Att syntax is fail and cringe

All professional RE tools are Intel syntax (Ida, binja, r2, winding, every other debugger on the planet)
Only absolute garbage like gdb is is at&t anymore

Fasm is written in its own assembly language and has almost no dependencies.
