YOU! There is absolutely no hand holding when coding in Assembly. You must make sure all values fit into their buffers, all pointer indexes are within bounds. You reserve space on the stack, make sure whatever fits into that buffer. YOU are responsible for every aspect of programming while using Assembly.
