The purpose of this tool is to ease the creation of programs that require run-time assembling.

It is compatible with stable rustc 1.77 and higher.

• Fully integrated in the Rust toolchain, no other tools necessary.
• The assembly is optimized into a series of Vec.push and Vec.extend statements.
• Errors are almost all diagnosed at compile time in a clear fashion.
• Write the to be generated assembly inline in nasm-like syntax using a simple macro.

Documentation. Release notes.

• Supports the x64/x86 instruction sets in long and protected mode with every AMD/Intel/VIA extension except for AVX-512.
• Supports the aarch64 instruction set up to ARMv8.4 except for SVE instructions. The development of this assembler backend has been generously sponsored by the awesome folks at Wasmer!

This project used to be a compiler plugin, so for old compilers, here's a list of which version of dynasm was guaranteed to work with which compiler. As the project has since transitioned to be a proc macro, this is not relevant for modern versions of the compiler.
