Let's create a default cargo project and confirm that we can emit the appropriate assembly for our machines. Doing this will be one of the important pillars of this book. Now, choose a directory on disk to place the default project and navigate there. This example will use ~/projects, but the exact path doesn't matter. Then, generate the default project:
~projects > cargo new --bin hello_world
Created binary (application) `hello_world` project
Go ahead and reward yourself with some x86 assembler:
hello_world > RUSTFLAGS="--emit asm" cargo build --target=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu Compiling hello_world v0.1.0 (file:///home/blt/projects/hello_world) Finished dev [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 0.33 secs hello_world ...
