Hope everyone is doing well!</p> <p>So, lately (for the past year or so) I've been learning some basic concepts of the x86 family's instructions and the ELF object file format as a side project. Now I wrote a library that compiles some basic instructions down into a raw ELF binary that ld is willing chew up and for it to spit out an executable file for. The Jas assembler allows computer and low-level enthusiasts to quickly and easily whip out a simple compiler without the hassle of a large and complex library like LLVM. Using my library, I've already written some pretty cool projects such as a very very simple brain f*ck compiler in less than 1MB that compiles down to a x64 ELF object file - Check it out here <a href="https://github.com/cheng-alvin/brainfry" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://github.com/cheng-alvin/brainfry</a></p> <p>Feel free to contribute to the repo: <a href="https://github.com/cheng-alvin/jas" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://github.com/cheng-alvin/jas</a></p> <p>Join the discord as well! <a href="https://discord.gg/Qncj5RJbfK" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://discord.gg/Qncj5RJbfK</a></p> <p>Thanks, Alvin</p> assembly c cpp opensource
