Add An Assembler-Language File to A Visual Studio C++ Project
The Visual Studio project system supports assembler-language files built by using MASM in your C++ projects. MASM fully supports x64 assembler-language source files, and builds them into object files. You can then link these object files to your C++ code built for x64 targets. It's one way to overcome the lack of an x64 inline assembler.
Does Visual Studio recognize assembly code?
Since Visual Studio does not recognize assembly code
Visual Studio will have to be told what program to call to compile the assembly code. In this section
We'll cover the basic steps of creating a project
Adding assembly code to it
Specifying the Custom Build instructions
And building the project.
How do I add a new assembly language file to a project?
Suppose you want to run another example program
Or possibly create your own program. You can remove the existing assembly language file from the Solution Explorer window and insert a new .asm file into the project.
How do I save an assembly code file in Visual Studio?
When the dialog box appears
Type in the name you want the assembly code file to be saved as (in our case

How do you write a program based on Assembly?
So most part of the program is written in whatever language and tool (IDE) that fits
And the necessary part in assembly is treated separately. To write this assembly part use whatever program that can produce a text file. This can be anything from Notepad to Visual Studio. The nature of assembly is very simple.
Ml64-Specific Directives
You can use the following ml64-specific directives in your assembler-language source code that targets x64: 1. .ALLOCSTACK 2. .ENDPROLOG 3. .PUSHFRAME 4. .PUSHREG 5. .SAVEREG 6. .SAVEXMM128 7. .SETFRAME The PROCdirective has also been updated for use with ml64.exe.
Does Visual Studio support x64 assembler?
Visual Studio includes both 32-bit and 64-bit hosted versions of MASM (the Microsoft Macro Assembler) to target x64 code. Named ml64.exe, it's the assembler that accepts x64 assembler language. The MASM command-line tools are installed when you choose a C++ workload during Visual Studio installation.
