Title: NASM 64 Bit
Post by: Adam Campel on June 30, 2009, 02:36:54 AM

Hi, I'm reading Paul Carter's Book, and with that and these forums, I'm learning a lot. I've read about NASM in 32 Bit in Windows, but I was wondering if NASM can make 64 bit code. I'm running a 64 bit operating system, if that changes anything. I'm just interested in learning more information about it.

There's a wiki for that:

On Windows you may need MS Visual Studio 2008 which includes the MASM assembler. This requires a license fee and is *not* open-source or free in any sense.

why would I need to use MS Visual Studio? Couldn't I just specify 64 bits in the program?
