x64 Assembly Language Examples (Unix/Linux)
The following examples were created while working through the book Beginning x64 Assembly Programming: From Novice to AVX Professional by Jo Van Hoey. Most of the examples were modified from the original, or were only inspired by those in the book. Others may be unrelated to the book as I tried out other things in order to understand concepts.
All of the examples here, regardless of modifications from the examples in the book, were hand typed in order to get familiar with the code. No copy-pasta!

Specific additions or modifications:
- Makefiles: the build system is original to this repository, allowing
make allandmake runto build/run all examples. - Helpers:
scripts/mksrcscript creates new example directories.scripts/init.sourcefor initializing environment variables and aliases. - Explanatory inline comments for clarity of sections of code I found confusing.
Original example code is here:

Building the Code
This project is intended to be used from a Unix-like system as the assembly code used throughout assumes POSIX system calls. It has been tested from several Linux OS distributions (Ubuntu 20.04, Fedora 35) and Windows Subsystem for Linux.
Created with: NASM version 2.14.02, NASM version 2.15.05, but other versions may work.
- To build all:
make all - To build and run all:
make run - To run a single target:
make run-{target_name}
