NewASM Release Notes

Welcome to NewASM: an interpreted low-level programming language which combines explicit memory and register control, giving it a breeze of assembly-like feel, with high-level functionalities such as objects, threads and more.

  • Version: build 27
  • Version of the runtime: 11
  • Kernel version: 7

Note

This is a pre-release which means that this product version doesn't represent the final quality of the product - it may contain bugs and problems that aren't yet discovered.

Warning

Some unstable builds can eventually gain runtime and kernel updates. NewASM Runtime is a back-end collection of runtime engines that let the front-end systems work. We recommend immediatelly updating as soon as the runtime updates for a specific version. Same goes with the kernel.

What's new or changed?

  • Added the new ResolveFileName back-end function for better file name lookup.
  • Enhanced the bootloader system with error handling and generic API for banck-end system development.
  • Optimized the retn instruction.

Fixed issues

  • Fixed the issue #26: now retn works for rax, rbx, imm and others.

Important notes

  • No important notes.

Building from source

  • Use the following command to compile your own build of NewASM; make sure that you have g++ and go installed:
go build networking.go -buildmode=c-archive -o networking.a
C:\path_to_your_compiler\g++ -static -std=c++23 index.cpp -o index.exe networking.a
  • If you are using Windows Subsystem for Linux, use the following command:
wsl go build networking.go -buildmode=c-archive -o networking.a
wsl g++ -m64 -static -std=c++23 index.cpp -o index.out networking.a

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 yourfile.asm
  • If you are on Linux, just add the ./ suffix:
./newasm 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
    string text : "Hello world!\n"
    intg len : $-text
.start
    mov tlr, text
    mov bos, len
    mov fdx, 1

    sysenter "ios" ; entering the kernel
    syscall ; calling the system call/host service
    ret 0

Output:

Hello world!
