# ASM<DIALECT>

This is a CMake Environment Variable. Its initial value is taken from the calling process environment.

Preferred executable for compiling a specific dialect of assembly language files. `ASM<DIALECT>` can be `ASM`, `ASM_NASM` (Netwide Assembler), `ASM_MASM` (Microsoft Assembler) or `ASM-ATT` (Assembler AT&T). Will only be used by CMake on the first configuration to determine `ASM<DIALECT>` compiler, after which the value for `ASM<DIALECT>` is stored in the cache as `CMAKE_ASM<DIALECT>_COMPILER`. For subsequent configuration runs, the environment variable will be ignored in favor of `CMAKE_ASM<DIALECT>_COMPILER`.
