Since Microsoft has dropped inline ASM support for their x64 compilers, are there any other suggested workarounds for "re-adding" inline ASM support?

Intrinsics are lacking, externally linking against .ASM files doesn't work if you need something *inlined*. I could modify the program during runtime to hard-code in what I want, but I prefer a less dynamic solution, that wouldn't cost me every single runtime.

afaik you're going to have to make do with intrinsics

I've come up with the idea of adding my own, pseudo-reassembler, which will replace specially-formatted instructions in your application after the linker pulls your app together.



e.g

Code:

*( ( ( unsigned char ** ) "\x92\x91" ) )[0] = 0;


Generates..

Code:

0040100A  |.  C600 00       MOV BYTE PTR DS:[EAX],0


The pseudo-reassembler would replace the above with:

Code:

0040100A      60            PUSHAD
0040100B      90            NOP
0040100C      90            NOP


EDIT:

I'm expanding on the idea of using a script to replace specially-marked places in memory to represent what should be turned into blocks of ASM.

e.g.:

Code:

#define __pushad( )    *( ( ( unsigned char ** ) "\x60\xFF\x00" ) )[0] = 0
#define __popad( )    *( ( ( unsigned char ** ) "\x61\xFF\x00" ) )[0] = 0

#ifdef _M_IX86
   #define __popEAX( )    *( ( ( unsigned char ** ) "\x58\xFF\x00" ) )[0] = 0
#elif _M_X64
   #define __popRAX( )    *( ( ( unsigned char ** ) "\x58\xFF\x00" ) )[0] = 0
#endif


The "reassembler" script, to be ran after the compiling and linking process:

Code:

#!/usr/bin/python

raw_size = 0x200
raw_offset = 0x400

f = open( "emit.exe", "rb" )
data = f.read( )
f.close( )

# Load anything before the code segment
new_data = data[:raw_offset]

cs = ""
cs += data[raw_offset:][:0x200]

### BEGIN CODE SEGMENT ###

#pushad
cs = cs.replace( "\xA2\x60\xFF\x00\x00", "\x60\x90\x90\x90\x90" )

#popad

cs = cs.replace( "\xA2\x61\xFF\x00\x00", "\x61\x90\x90\x90\x90" )

#pop EAX/pop RAX
cs = cs.replace( "\xA2\x58\xFF\x00\x00", "\x58\x90\x90\x90\x90" )

### END CODE SEGMENT ###

new_data += cs

# Load the data after the code segment
new_data += data[raw_offset+raw_size:]

f = open( "emit-new.exe", "wb" )
f.write( new_data )
f.close( )


Of course, this technique could easily be adapted to allow users to emit bytes into the CPU stream, accomplishing the same effect as inline ASM.
