So I've been doing some work in my Assembly class for college, and I use Vim as my primary code editor. I'm having a problem with Syntastic where I'm writing assembly for NASM, but Syntastic only wants to run the gcc error checker (which tells me all my code is wrong). I tried to run the NASM checker explicitly with SyntasticCheck nasm but that didn't seem to work. I also attempted to let g:syntastic_asm_checkers = ['nasm'] in my .vimrc but that didn't seem to do anything. How can I get Syntastic to run the NASM checker here?
As a note, I tested this by just writing something like mov eax, to get an error out of NASM.
As mentioned in the comments above, it turns out nasm only works for files with a nasm file extension. After renaming my file to <file>.nasm I discovered that vim doesn't automatically detect the nasm filetype after running set ft?, so I'll have to modify my .vimrc to support the extension.
