dobelx64

dobelx64 is the x86–64 (Wikipedia article) DOBELA interpreter, a little thing I made in order to increase my fluency in x86 assembly language.

Currently it probably runs on exactly one platform, namely Linux. It might run on anything POSIX-compliant (plus a few extensions, such as the MAP_ANON flag for mmap(2)) that can run ELF–64 (Wikipedia article) binaries, such as the BSDs, but I make no guarantees. Windows is wishful thinking at this point, but I might write Mach-O headers for Mac OS X at some point.

Every byte in the binary can be accounted for: even the executable format’s headers are written by me instead of a linker. The whole thing weighs in at less than 5000 bytes and depends on no libraries, only direct kernel calls.

dobelx64 is written in the flat assembler’s dialect of x86–64.
