yasm: An assembler for the x86 and AMD64 instruction sets¶
Description¶
Yasm is a complete rewrite of the NASM assembler under the “new” BSD License (some portions are under other licenses, see COPYING for details).
Yasm currently supports the x86 and AMD64 instruction sets, accepts NASM and GAS assembler syntaxes, outputs binary, ELF32, ELF64, 32 and 64-bit Mach-O, RDOFF2, COFF, Win32, and Win64 object formats, and generates source debugging information in STABS, DWARF 2, and CodeView 8 formats.
Yasm can be easily integrated into Visual Studio 2005/2008 and 2010 for assembly of NASM or GAS syntax code into Win32 or Win64 object files.
License¶
Yasm is licensed under the 2-clause and 3-clause “revised” BSD licenses, with one exception: the Bit::Vector module used by the mainline version of Yasm to implement its large integer and machine-independent floating point support is triple-licensed under the Artistic license, GPL, and LGPL. The “yasm-nextgen” codebase uses a different BSD-licensed implementation and is thus entirely under BSD-equivalent licenses. The full text of the licenses are provided in the Yasm source distribution.
