Notes on how to compile a .asm file with .cpp using Visual Studio 2019:

Simplistic form (it will generate a smaller .exe with no dependencies)

To generate smaller binaries I noticed I had to make few changes:

Step 1: (replace "myfunction" name with your .asm file)

• ml64.exe /c /nologo /Fo"myfunction.obj" /Ta myfunction.asm

Step 2: (replace "my_program" name with your .cpp file and also add or remove kernel32.lib and user32.lib)

• cl.exe /nologo /EHsc /D UNICODE /MT /INCREMENTAL /Fo"my_program.obj" /TP my_program.cpp /link myfunction.obj myprogram.obj kernel32.lib user32.lib /out:"my_program.exe"

Check it out @majkinetor powershell script to invoke variables from a .bat file

• https://github.com/majkinetor/posh/blob/master/MM_Admin/Invoke-Environment.ps1
• Import-Module Invoke-Environment.ps1
• $vs_x64_bitness = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvars64.bat"
• Invoke-Environment $vs_x64_bitness

Enjoy!
