Especially for Btech JNTU Students! I want to install MASM in my 64-bit machine on Windows 7. I searched over Google and found videos in which all are suggesting to install Dosbox at first. And I also found the link on msdn for MASM but there written (what I understood) that Visual Studio must be installed before installing MASM. I guess, Microsoft make it harder to use MASM now.
-->Assembles and links one or more assembly-language source files. The command-line options are case-sensitive.

options
The options listed in the following table.
Option | Action |
---|---|
/AT | Enables tiny-memory-model support. Enables error messages for code constructs that violate the requirements for .com format files. This option isn't equivalent to the .MODELTINY directive. Not available in ml64.exe. |
/Blfilename | Selects an alternate linker. |
/c | Assembles only. Does no linking. |
/coff | Generates common object file format (COFF) type of object module. Required for Win32 assembly language development. Not available in ml64.exe. |
/Cp | Preserves case of all user identifiers. |
/Cu | Maps all identifiers to upper case (default). Not available in ml64.exe. |
/Cx | Preserves case in public and extern symbols. |
/Dsymbol⟦=value⟧ | Defines a text macro with the given name. If value is missing, it's blank. Multiple tokens separated by spaces must be enclosed in quotation marks. |
/EP | Generates a preprocessed source listing (sent to STDOUT). See /Sf. |
/ERRORREPORT [ NONE | PROMPT | QUEUE | SEND ] | Deprecated. Error reporting is controlled by Windows Error Reporting (WER) settings. |
/Fhexnum | Sets stack size to hexnum bytes (the same as /link /STACK:number). The value must be expressed in hexadecimal notation. There must be a space between /F and hexnum. |
/Fefilename | Names the executable file. |
/Fl⟦filename⟧ | Generates an assembled code listing. See /Sf. |
/Fm⟦filename⟧ | Creates a linker map file. |
/Fofilename | Names an object file. For more information, see Remarks. |
/FPi | Generates emulator fix-ups for floating-point arithmetic (mixed language only). Not available in ml64.exe. |
/Fr⟦filename⟧ | Generates a source browser .sbr file. |
/FR⟦filename⟧ | Generates an extended form of a source browser .sbr file. |
/Gc | Specifies use of FORTRAN- or Pascal-style function calling and naming conventions. Same as OPTION LANGUAGE:PASCAL. Not available in ml64.exe. |
/Gd | Specifies use of C-style function calling and naming conventions. Same as OPTION LANGUAGE:C. Not available in ml64.exe. |
/GZ | Specifies use of __stdcall function calling and naming conventions. Same as OPTION LANGUAGE:STCALL. Not available in ml64.exe. |
/Hnumber | Restricts external names to number significant characters. The default is 31 characters. Not available in ml64.exe. |
/help | Calls QuickHelp for help on ML. |
/Ipathname | Sets path for include file. A maximum of 10 /I options is allowed. |
/nologo | Suppresses messages for successful assembly. |
/omf | Generates object module file format (OMF) type of object module. /omf implies /c; ML.exe doesn't support linking OMF objects. Not available in ml64.exe. |
/Sa | Turns on listing of all available information. |
/safeseh | Marks the object as either containing no exception handlers or containing exception handlers that are all declared with .SAFESEH. Not available in ml64.exe. |
/Sf | Adds first-pass listing to listing file. |
/Slwidth | Sets the line width of source listing in characters per line. Range is 60 to 255 or 0. Default is 0. Same as PAGE width. |
/Sn | Turns off symbol table when producing a listing. |
/Splength | Sets the page length of source listing in lines per page. Range is 10 to 255 or 0. Default is 0. Same as PAGE length. |
/Sstext | Specifies text for source listing. Same as SUBTITLE text. |
/Sttext | Specifies title for source listing. Same as TITLE text. |
/Sx | Turns on false conditionals in listing. |
/Tafilename | Assembles source file whose name doesn't end with the .asm extension. |
/w | Same as /W0/WX. |
/Wlevel | Sets the warning level, where level = 0, 1, 2, or 3. |
/WX | Returns an error code if warnings are generated. |
/X | Ignore INCLUDE environment path. |
/Zd | Generates line-number information in object file. |
/Zf | Makes all symbols public. |
/Zi | Generates CodeView information in object file. |
/Zm | EnablesM510 option for maximum compatibility with MASM 5.1. Not available in ml64.exe. |
/Zp⟦alignment⟧ | Packs structures on the specified byte boundary. The alignment can be 1, 2, or 4. |
/Zs | Performs a syntax check only. |
/? | Displays a summary of ML command-line syntax. |
filename
The name of the file.
link_options
The link options. For more information, see Linker options.
Some command-line options to ML and ML64 are placement-sensitive. For example, because ML and ML64 can accept several /c options, any corresponding /Fo options must be specified before /c. The following command-line example illustrates an object file specification for each assembly file specification:
Variable | Description |
---|---|
INCLUDE | Specifies search path for include files. |
ML | Specifies default command-line options. |
TMP | Specifies path for temporary files. |
