    mov tlr, locals::variable
    mov stl, 0c1
    mov bos, 2

Building from source

• Use the following command to compile your own build of NewASM; make sure that you have G++ installed:

C:\path_to_your_compiler\g++ -static -std=c++20 index.cpp -o index.exe

• If you are using Windows Subsystem for Linux, use the following command:

wsl g++ -m32 -static -std=c++20 index.cpp -o index.out

Downloading

• Download one of the following archives that suits your system. Once you have downloaded it, extract the archive into a folder of your choice and begin using the application.

Using the application

• Use the following command to execute your NewASM programs on Windows:

newasm -input yourfile.asm

• If you are on Linux, just add the .out extension:

./newasm.out -input yourfile.asm

Writing your first NewASM app

• Create the file named yourfile.asm, or just name it whatever you like, and edit it with an editor of your choice:

.$using %ios
.data
    txt string : "Hello world!"
    num len : $-string
.start
    mov tlr, string
    mov stl, 0c1
    mov bos, len
    mov fdx, 1

    sysenter %ios
    syscall
    ret 0

Output:

Hello world!
