Vscode-code-runner: x86 and x64 Assembly language support

[Jfaler]

Is it possible to compile assembly language with Microsoft Visual Studio Code?

The commands would look something like this:

sudo nasm -f elf64 helloWorld.asm

ld helloWorld.o -o helloWorld

./helloWorld

Yes it's possible. Just add this line to your settings:

{
// ...
  "code-runner.executorMap": {
        // Linux based
        "asm": "nasm -felf64 $fileName && ld $fileNameWithoutExt.o -o $fileNameWithoutExt && ./$fileNameWithoutExt",
        // Mac
        "asm": "nasm -fmacho64 $fileName && ld $fileNameWithoutExt.o -o $fileNameWithoutExt && ./$fileNameWithoutExt",
        // Windows (not tested)
        "asm": "nasm -win32 $fileName && ld $fileNameWithoutExt.o -o $fileNameWithoutExt.exe && ./$fileNameWithoutExt.exe",
        // ...
},
// ...

If anyone can test the windows and mac commands, i think it can be added as a default @formulahendry

EDIT: may be useful to use gcc instead of ld, but idk much about assembly to confirm.

I almost have MASM working also and will share my solution when I get home.
