IL Samples

Samples demonstrating the generation of MSIL assemblies using ILASM for .NET ≥ 8.0.

Build using

dotnet build .\helloworld.proj

This will restore the necessary packages and build the project using ILASM. You may need to set the RuntimeIdentifier to match your platform, e.g., win-x64, linux-x64, etc. You can do this by passing it as a command line argument.

dotnet build .\helloworld.proj -p:RuntimeIdentifier=linux-x64

Then run the generated assembly using

 dotnet .\bin\helloworld.exe

The hello world example will print "Hello World!" to the console.

You can debug the generated assembly in vscode. Configurations are readily provided in the .vscode folder.

You will need to modify the location of the helloworld.txt file in the helloworld.il file to match your environment, where you will find a line like this:

    .line 1,1 : 1,19 '/workspace/ILSamples/helloworld.txt'

Replace the path with the correct one for your system, e.g., /home/user/ILSamples/helloworld.txt or C:\\Users\\User\\ILSamples\\helloworld.txt. Note that backslashes need to be escaped with an additional backslash, but using slashes on windows appears to work as well.
