What is this?

I'm currently working on many assembly related projects. Most of them are written in Rust. Since inline assembly is ugly (atleast in my opinion), I work mostly with writable memory pages. This means that I have to assemble my instructions to the proper architecture via a tool (for example sam-web). This work is really boring and repetetive, also it makes it hard to trace bugs in your assembly if you only have the opcodes laying in front of you.
Therefore I decided to make a macro which utilizes kstool to create the opcodes out of a string containing your assembly. There will also be a full native solution as soon as I created the needed bindings for Keystone.

TLDR This is a macro which converts an assembly string to a Vec<u8> at compile time.

Setup

Compile Keystone and make sure 'kstool' is in your PATH.

Modes

Supported modes are (all with NASM syntax): x64 x86

Example

```rust

[macro_use]

extern crate sam;

fn main() { let asm: Vec = sam!(x64 => "mov rax, 0x1337"); println!("{:?}", asm); } ```
