VIM-GAS

This vim bundle adds advanced syntax highlighting for GNU as (AT&T).

This file defines a (almost) complete syntax for GNU as assembler.

My motivation in writing this was the lack of a complete, working syntax for this common assembler.

For now the basic as directives as well as the Intel / AMD, ARM (thumb) and AVR instruction sets are included.
Opcodes supporting a size suffix are recognized plain as well as suffixed with b/w/l/q.

What does it look like?

Supported instructions a per version 0.16:

X86 common instruction set (8086 - 686)
Katmai Streaming SIMD instructions (SSE -- a.k.a. KNI, XMM, MMX2)
Introduced in Deschutes but necessary for SSE support
XSAVE group (AVX and extended state)
Generic memory operations
New MMX instructions introduced in Katmai
AMD Enhanced 3DNow! (Athlon) instructions
Willamette SSE2 Cacheability Instructions
Willamette MMX instructions (SSE2 SIMD Integer Instructions)
Willamette Streaming SIMD instructions (SSE2)
Prescott New Instructions (SSE3)
VMX Instructions
Extended Page Tables VMX instructions
Tejas New Instructions (SSSE3)
AMD SSE4A
New instructions in Barcelona
Penryn New Instructions (SSE4.1)
Nehalem New Instructions (SSE4.2)
AMD SSE5 instructions
Intel SMX
Geode (Cyrix) 3DNow! additions
Intel AES instructions
Intel AVX AES instructions
Intel AVX instructions
Intel AVX2 instructions
Intel Carry-Less Multiplication instructions (CLMUL)
Intel AVX Carry-Less Multiplication instructions (CLMUL)
Intel Fused Multiply-Add instructions (FMA)
VIA (Centaur) security instructions
AMD XOP, FMA4 and CVT16 instructions (SSE5)
Systematic names for the hinting nop instructions
ARM (Thumb)
AVR

You can set different highlighting for each set listed above by adding a line like this to you .vimrc:

  hi def link gasOpcodeX86_PENT_SSE  <some_highlighting>

per-file opcode enable / disable

Since version 0.6 it is possible to disable sets of opcodes by either CPU they where introduced in or by their extension name. This is done by setting a special variable recognized by gas.vim to the list of disabled opcodes.

E.g.

" globally disable all x86_64 opcodes 
:let g:gasDisableOpcodes='x86_64' 


" disable SSE and SSE2 for this buffer 
let b:gasDisableOpcodes='sse sse2'

Disabled opcodes will be highlighted as errors.

recognized CPU groups:

       186, 286, 386, 3862, 486, 8086, amd, future, ia64, katmai, nehalem, 
        p6, pentium_m, pentium, prescott, sandybridge, x64, x642, x86_64

recognized extension groups:

       base, 3dnow, mmx, mmx2, sse, sse2, sse3, ssse3, sse4.1, sse4.2, sse4a, 
       sse5, avx, fma, vmx

I hope this syntax file will be useful to other people - but don't blame me if it doesn't suit your needs.

CPP preprocessor macros

GAS allows code to be processed by the same preprocessor used for C/C++ code. So directives like #include, #define etc. will be highlighted using the C syntax highlighter if available.

This behavior can be turned off by setting the gasDisablePreproc option either globally in your .vimrc or on a per-buffer basis:

" globally disable preprocessor macro detection
:let g:gasDisablePreproc=1 


" disable only for this buffer 
let gasDisablePreproc=1

Installation

This syntax file can either be installed manually, by using pathogen or vundle.

Manual Installation

Download gas.vim and copy the file to .vim/syntax/ in your home folder. Add this line to the end of your file:

/* vim: ft=gas : 
*/

Installation with Git & Pathogen

Install pathogen into ~/.vim/autoload/ and add the following line to your ~/.vimrc:
```
  call pathogen#infect()
```

Make a clone of the vim-gas repository:

  $ mkdir -p ~/.vim/bundle
  $ cd ~/.vim/bundle
  $ git clone https://github.com/HealsCodes/vim-gas

OR use git submodules:

  $ git submodule add https://github.com/HealsCodes/vim-gas.git bundle/vim-gas
  $ git submodule init

Installation with Vundle

Install and setup vundle then add this to your ~/.vimrc inside the vundle#begin() / vundle#end() block:
```
  Plugin shirk/vim-gas
```
Restart your vim and call VundleInstall
