x86-64 Playground – An online assembly editor and GDB-like debugger

https://x64.halb.it/

disqard•3mo ago
Very cool project! Thank You For Making And Sharing :)
runetech•3mo ago
Very nice and approachable! Almost makes me want to come back to assembly again ;-)
gcr•3mo ago
Neat site!

This is a level lower than https://godbolt.org/ (the "Compiler Explorer") -- think of that site as turning C into assembly, and this site as watching the machine code actually run on virtual hardware.

iamcreasy•3mo ago
Is that the same as x86 emulation or there are subtle distinction?
waynesonfire•3mo ago
got "wut" for trying to call popcnt, oh well.
FilosofumRex•3mo ago
Is there GPU assembly (PTX) version available anywhere?
pjmlp•3mo ago
Kind of, there is

https://shader-playground.timjones.io/

Additionally you can select CUDA C++ or PTX on compiler explorer.

LarsDu88•3mo ago
Is there a version of this for a simpler ISA like for the 6502 chip, the Gameboy chip, or straight up ARM?
enoent•3mo ago
For ARM (32-bit): https://alexaltea.github.io/unicorn.js/ or https://cpulator.01xz.net/

For other architectures, it feels like a missed opportunity to not have an independent WASM build of MAME's debugger, as the whole project could already be built in WASM (although I think the latest versions were broken, as that target isn't actively maintained): https://docs.mamedev.org/initialsetup/compilingmame.html#ems...

soferio•3mo ago
This is an assembler: https://paleotronic.com/merlinplus/
pjmlp•3mo ago
As info for others, the site currently has CORS errors, thus it doesn't assemble/execute.
wkjagt•3mo ago
This one is quite fun: https://skilldrick.github.io/easy6502/
halb•3mo ago
Nice to see my playground trending! All of this is essentially made possible by the blink engine by @jart: https://github.com/jart/blink/ Which is an x86-64-linux emulator written in a few kb of c code.

There is no Backend server, everything runs locally in the browser in a runtime that weights less than a screenshot of the website itself!

To implement it I modified the blink emulator to run as a C library, and compiled it into a Typescript + WASM module that exposes an emulator API. Then I built a regular web app on top of it.

philipallstar•3mo ago
Tiny nit! Spelling in your About section:

> Unlike traditional onlide editors

201984•3mo ago
Pretty neat idea, but it evaluates the lzcnt instruction incorrectly, so it's possible others are wrong too. If you have access to a real x86_64 processor, you're probably better off just using it, and then you get the power of a full debugger with breakpoints in gdb.

Also, the "Guides" button and the "embed on your website" link on the main page are broken.

halb•3mo ago
This is mostly an educational tool, and it's intentionally designed to present data in a similar way to GDB. The idea is that students will use this tool to learn basic assembly concepts without the extra friction of GDB, and when they are ready they will move to the real tools, where hopefully they will already recognize some of the elements.

I am intentionally not implementing any useful feature beyond single stepping so that students will not remain stuck on a local minimum using this website.

Razengan•3mo ago
I always wondered/wanted to play with a language that comes between Assembly and C (in terms of power/control, granularity, and also ease of use):

* Be just like Asm in every way, but:

* Have standardized architecture-agnostic mnemonics that translate to CPU-specific ones: like something that stands for both MOV on Intel and LDR on ARM.

* Take care of common boilerplate like function call rituals, or the multiple instructions required for loading 64-bit numbers on ARM.

Basically a real language like the ones in "programming simulation" games.

blashyrk•3mo ago
Wouldn't that basically be very similar to, for example, LLVM IR?
halb•3mo ago
I was gonna say, this sounds exactly like LLVM IR, except for the ease of use
pjmlp•3mo ago
Besides LLVM IR, we have MSIL, WebAssembly, among many other bytecode formats, languages like Forth, or Lisp based assemblers.
SilentM68•3mo ago
The Guides link does not work. Just stays at the same page.
osa1•3mo ago
Is blink an interpreter for x86_64 instructions, or does it compile basic blocks to the host architecture?

I had a look at the source code but I'm not sure how it works. It looks a bit too small (50 kloc C + 6.6 kloc headers) to have code generators for all of the supported host architectures.

halb•3mo ago
It's an interpreter, but it does support JIT to x64 and arm. There are some details here: https://github.com/jart/blink/?tab=readme-ov-file#technical-...

On the x64-playground website it's just running as an interpreter, inside of web assembly

ngcc_hk•3mo ago
A very good site and lots of good comments
