Yasm is a modular assembler, a complete rewrite of NASM under the BSD license, supporting x86 and AMD64 instruction sets with NASM and GAS syntaxes. It outputs many object formats (ELF, Mach-O, COFF/Win32/Win64, binary) and generates STABS, DWARF 2, and CodeView debug information.

Use cases

  • assemble x86 or amd64 assembly code
  • nasm-compatible assembler with a permissive license
  • assemble NASM or GAS syntax into Win32/Win64 object files for Visual Studio
  • generate ELF64 or Mach-O object files from assembly
  • produce DWARF debug info for assembly code

When to choose

  • you need a NASM-compatible assembler with BSD licensing
  • you target multiple object formats or debug info standards from assembly
  • you integrate assembly builds into Visual Studio projects

When to avoid

  • you need assemblers for non-x86 architectures like ARM or RISC-V
  • you want a modern actively evolving assembler with new instruction set support
  • you prefer GNU as with GCC toolchain integration
