NASM
Comprehensive study of nasm covering fundamental concepts and advanced applications.
Practical Applications
Debugging and Optimizing NASM Code
Make Your Code Shine!
Debugging and optimizing are essential skills for real-world NASM programming.
Debugging Tips
- Use tools like
gdb
orndisasm
to step through your code - Insert extra output instructions to see what's happening
- Check register values and memory contents
Optimization Tricks
- Use registers instead of memory for speed
- Avoid unnecessary instructions
- Unroll loops for small, repeated pieces of code
Real-World Payoff
Optimized NASM code runs faster and uses less memory — perfect for games, embedded systems, or any app where performance counts!
Examples
