# customasm
`customasm` is an assembler that allows you to provide your own **custom
instruction sets** to assemble your source files!
It can be useful, for example, if you're trying to test the bytecode of a new virtual machine,
or if you're eager to write programs for that new microprocessor architecture
you just implemented in an FPGA chip!

## Installation

You can install directly from *crates.io* by running `cargo install customasm`.
Then the `customasm` application should automatically become available in your
command-line environment.

You can also download pre-built executables from the
[Releases section](https://github.com/hlorenzi/customasm/releases).

You can compile from source yourself by first cloning the repository and
then simply running `cargo build`.
There's also a battery of tests available at `cargo test`.

## Example

Given the following file:

```asm
#ruledef
{
load r1, {value: i8} => 0x11 @ value
load r2, {value: i8} => 0x12 @ value
load r3, {value: i8} => 0x13 @ value
add r1, r2 => 0x21
sub r3, {value: i8} => 0x33 @ value
jnz {address: u16} => 0x40 @ address
ret => 0x50
}

multiply3x4:
load r1, 0
load r2, 3
load r3, 4

.loop:
add r1, r2
sub r3, 1
jnz .loop

ret
```

...the assembler will use the `#ruledef` directive to convert the
instructions into binary code:

```asm
outp | addr | data (base 16)

0:0 | 0 | ; multiply3x4:
0:0 | 0 | 11 00 ; load r1, 0
2:0 | 2 | 12 03 ; load r2, 3
4:0 | 4 | 13 04 ; load r3, 4
6:0 | 6 | ; .loop:
6:0 | 6 | 21 ; add r1, r2
7:0 | 7 | 33 01 ; sub r3, 1
9:0 | 9 | 40 00 06 ; jnz .loop
c:0 | c | 50 ; ret
```
