Convert Ruby to Assembly Language: Fast & Easy Tool

Ruby to Assembly Language Conversion Tool Link to this section #

Transforming Ruby code into assembly language can streamline performance optimization and enhance low-level understanding of code execution. This tool facilitates converting high-level Ruby scripts into efficient assembly language, bridging the gap between abstract code and tangible hardware instructions.

Key Features Link to this section #

• Automatic Translation: Quickly convert Ruby scripts into assembly language, optimizing for specific architectures.
• Performance Insights: Gain insights into how Ruby constructs translate into machine-level instructions, aiding in performance tuning.
• Customizable Output: Choose between different assembly dialects like x86, ARM, or MIPS to fit your hardware requirements.

How It Works Link to this section #

1. Input Ruby Code: Paste or upload your Ruby script into the tool.
2. Select Target Architecture: Choose the desired assembly language architecture (e.g., x86, ARM).
3. Generate Assembly Code: Click 'Convert' to produce the assembly language equivalent.

Example Link to this section #

Here is a simple Ruby code snippet and its assembly conversion:

# Ruby code
def add(a, b)
  a + b
end

Converted to generic assembly language:

; Assembly Language
section .text
global _add

_add:
    mov eax, edi    ; Move first argument to eax
    add eax, esi    ; Add second argument
    ret             ; Return result
