> Since MASM is not a free tool I've ported assembly threading code to NASM which is free and available for windows and linux ia32 OSes (there is a branch called yasm which supports x86_64 arch). The code attempts to keep win32 optimization for a single processor where LOCK prefixes of instructions are replaced with NOPs.
> The command line to compile sources is
> nasm -f win32 $<
> If NASM is taken independent from Cygwin, e.g. from http://nasm.sf.net,  the command line is "nasmw", not "nasm".
