# 0asm

0asm is a 16-bit x86 assembler written in 16-bit x86 assembly which fits
in under 512 bytes of x86 machine code! It runs on
[bootOS](https://github.com/nanochess/bootOS/).

## Assembling

You can assemble and run 0asm using nasm and QEMU (respectively):

make run

This also copies the input file `test.asm` into the disk under the filename
`0`. One can then run the assembler in bootOS:

$0asm

and then run the output program under `@`:

$@
    Hello, world! $

Further examples are available under the `examples/` directory.

## Anticipated FAQ

### What does it support?

0asm supports several common instructions, labels (absolute and relative
relocations), and octal literals (but only octal literals). It also
supports all 16-bit x86 general purpose registers, but does not support
segment registers.

Many jump instructions are supported (call, jmp, jb, jnb, jz, jnz, jbe,
jnbe), along with several string instructions (stosb, stosw, lodsb, lodsw,
movsw, cbw, scasw), several stack instructions (push, pop, ret), a few
fundamental arithmetic instructions in both register/register and
register/immediate form (add, or, adc, and, xor, cmp, mov), and some misc
instructions (int, stc, inc, dec, the pseudo-instruction db).

Errors are not always handled, but the assembler does usually exit cleanly
instead of producing garbage.

### How does it work?

0asm is a simple 2-pass assembler. The first pass outputs the machine
code for instructions which do not require any relocation; it also collects
labels into a "symbol table", and the addresses of immediates which need
to be fixed into a "fixup table". The first pass also outputs the machine
code for instructions which do not require any relocation.

### Is it self-hosting?

Unfortunately not yet, for several reasons.

1. The underlying bootOS only supports 512 byte files.
2. The instruction encoding produced is not optimal, so it will not fit
in 512 bytes once assembled.
3. Shift and memory-addressing instructions are not yet supported.

These problems are not insurmountable, although it seems difficult.
We could easily move the goalpost by typing the entire program using db,
but of course that would be no fun.

## Development

The code is decently commented. Many of the files in this repo are
generated from `0asm.asm`, including the README. You can also debug by
running `make debug` (to start QEMU in one pane) and `make gdbdebug`
(to start GDB along with some helpful default scripts).
