    Hello,

       I am trying to generate assembly from a basic C file to and then compile the assembly with cl or masm - neither option is working for me.  

    Generating assembly is straight forward, this is what I am doing:

    C:\Users\anthony.gabrielson\Desktop\MC\working_dir>cl /FA codeTest.c  <- this generates codeTest.asm
    Microsoft (R) C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 16.00.30319.01 for x64
    Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation.  All rights reserved.

    codeTest.c
    Microsoft (R) Incremental Linker Version 10.00.30319.01
    Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation.  All rights reserved.

    /out:codeTest.exe
    codeTest.obj

    I am then trying to compile the assembly into an executable.  

    First, I tried to use CL:

    C:\Users\anthony.gabrielson\Desktop\MC\working_dir>cl codeTest.asm
    Microsoft (R) C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 16.00.30319.01 for x64
    Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation.  All rights reserved.

    cl : Command line warning D9024 : unrecognized source file type 'codeTest.asm',
    object file assumed
    Microsoft (R) Incremental Linker Version 10.00.30319.01
    Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation.  All rights reserved.

    /out:codeTest.exe
    codeTest.asm
    codeTest.asm : fatal error LNK1107: invalid or corrupt file: cannot read at 0x57
    D

    When CL failed, ml seemed more appropriate: 

    C:\Users\anthony.gabrielson\Desktop\MC\working_dir>ml64 codeTest.asm
    Microsoft (R) Macro Assembler (x64) Version 10.00.30319.01
    Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation.  All rights reserved.

     Assembling: codeTest.asm
    codeTest.asm(62) : error A2006:undefined symbol : FLAT
    codeTest.asm(29) : error A2006:undefined symbol : $LN3
    codeTest.asm(30) : error A2006:undefined symbol : $LN3

    I have made no changes to the .asm file generated by cl.  Does anyone have any ideas?

    Thanks,

    Anthony

    Hi Anthony,

    Based on your description, I’m afraid that it is not the correct forum for this issue, since this forum is to discuss:

    Visual Studio WPF/SL Designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System, and Visual Studio Editor.

    I am moving your question to the moderator forum ("Where is the forum for..?"). The owner of the forum will direct you to a right forum.

    Best Regards,

    Hello Anthony.

    You can ask your question in the C++ Standards, Extensions, and Interop Forum at http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vclanguage/threads; I can move it there for you if you want.

    Bye.

    I ended up finding the answer a few hours later: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/eu/windowssdk/thread/4aad9e70-6bb8-4622-a5d9-a3b07b51fc7f

    Turns out MS is in the process of making assembly output for informational purposes only - it was a really disappointing answer.

    Thanks,

    Anthony
