Overview of this book

The Assembly language is the lowest level human readable programming language on any platform. Knowing the way things are on the Assembly level will help developers design their code in a much more elegant and efficient way. It may be produced by compiling source code from a high-level programming language (such as C/C++) but can also be written from scratch. Assembly code can be converted to machine code using an assembler. The first section of the book starts with setting up the development environment on Windows and Linux, mentioning most common toolchains. The reader is led through the basic structure of CPU and memory, and is presented the most important Assembly instructions through examples for both Windows and Linux, 32 and 64 bits. Then the reader would understand how high level languages are translated into Assembly and then compiled into object code. Finally we will cover patching existing code, either legacy code without sources or a running code in same or remote process.

Setting Up a Development Environment

We are slowly approaching the point where we will be able to begin to actually deal with Assembly language itself--writing code, examining programs, solving problems. We are just one step away, and the step is setting up a development environment for Assembly programming.

Despite the fact that the assembler used in this book is a Flat Assembler (FASM), it is important to cover at least two other options and, therefore, in this chapter, you will learn how to configure three types of development environment:

  • Setting up a development environment for Windows-based applications using Visual Studio 2017 Community: This will allow the direct integration of Assembly projects with existing solutions
  • Installing GNU Compilers Collection (GCC): Although it is possible to use GCC on both Windows and *nix platforms, we will emphasize GCC usage on Linux
