Fasm.NET

A managed wrapper to use FASM compiler from .NET applications.

This library is written in C++/CLI and embeds FASM compiler as a linkable Microsoft COFF object.
As FASM compiler is built in 32-bit, the managed assembly can only be used within a 32-bit development.

The branches match with the current versions of FASM compiler as published on the official website.

  • The branch master contains the latest tested version: 1.70.03 (2012-06-29)
  • The branch development contains the latest development snapshot version: None

Features

Fasm.NET offers the following features:

  • Assemble mnemonics on the fly
  • Assemble a file
  • Assemble multiple files
  • Create a instance of the class to assemble your mnemonics code with ease
  • Throw managed and detailed exceptions when compilation errors occur
  • Customize the memory size and the number of pass
  • Get the version of the FASM compiler

Examples

Here are some examples written in C# showing how the library can be used.

Assemble 32-bit inline mnemonics

var asm = FasmNet.Assemble("use32\nretn");

The variable asm is an array of bytes containing the assembly code.

Assemble 64-bit mnemonics using an array

string[] mnemonics =
	{
		"use64",
		"mov rax, 1",
		"retn"
	};

var asm = FasmNet.Assemble(mnemonics, 1000, 10);

Here is used an overloaded definition of the method to specify the memory size (1000 bytes) and the number of pass (10).
The variable asm is an array of bytes containing the assembly code.

Assemble two files

var files = new[] {"constants.inc", "main.asm"};
var asm = FasmNet.AssembleFiles(files);

The variable files is an array containing the files to assemble and asm is an array of bytes containing the assembly code.

Handle managed exceptions

var oops = "wrong";

try
{
	FasmNet.Assemble(oops);
}
catch (FasmAssemblerException ex)
{
	Debug.WriteLine("Error definition: {0}; Error code: {1}; Error line: {2}; Error offset: {3}; Mnemonics: {4}",
		ex.ErrorCode, (int)ex.ErrorCode, ex.ErrorLine, ex.ErrorOffset, ex.Mnemonics);
}

In this example, the assembling operation fails and an error is thrown.
The variable ex contains what, where and why the assembling operation couldn't terminate properly.

Use an instance of the class for more ease

IntPtr loadLibraryPtr = [...];
IntPtr start = new IntPtr(0x1000);
var fasm = new FasmNet();

fasm.AddLine("use32");
fasm.AddLine("mov eax,{0}", loadLibraryPtr);
fasm.AddLine("call eax");
fasm.AddLine("retn");

var asm = fasm.Assemble();
var rebased = fasm.Assemble(start);

The variable asm is an array of bytes containing the assembly code.
The variable rebased is an array of bytes containing the assembly code with a specified origin (given by the variable start).

Credits

I would thank Tomasz Grysztar, the author of FASM assembler and Shynd, who has done a similar job and gave me the idea to make this wrapper in C++/CLI.
