NASM mode for Emacs

Quick post for those Emacs users out there.

The common assembler used on GNU/Linux nowadays is the GAS assembler, part of the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC). If, like me, you get upset with the AT&T syntax and prefer working with a real assembler (and not a just a compiler back-end), you might want to give NASM try.

If you, however, are also a Emacs user, there’s a problem: Emacs assembly mode only supports the GAS syntax, there’s no nasm-mode. Quite disturbing...

So here’s a link to my NASM mode: nasm-mode.el

Please give it a try and don't hesitate to report any bug or missing feature!

All you have to do is put nasm-mode.el in the your load path (usually in ~/.emacs.d/) and add the following lines in your .emacs file:

(autoload 'nasm-mode "~/.emacs.d/nasm-mode.el" "" t)
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.\\(asm\\|s\\)$" . nasm-mode))
