  assembly gas
  I would like to get the address of a variable and’ed by 4096 (which would correspond to the address of its memory page). Since this is something that can be computed offline I did something that looks like this (v is the variable and vpage should contain the address of its page):.datav: .zero 0x100vpage: .long v & 0xfffff000Trying to compile this file with the x86 assembler results in the following error:test.S: Assembler messages: test.S:3: Error: invalid sections for operation on `

  I created a simple mono executable using MonoDevelop that prints “hello world”. I wanted to try the AOT ‘asmonly’ option.

  assembly inline-assembly gas segments
  I was thinking of using a far jump to set the code segment (CS) register. Getting into why I’m doing this and why I’m dealing with segmentation at all would take a while, so bear with me and consider it an academic exercise. I can’t seem to get the syntax right. Error: suffix or operands invalid for ‘ljmp’I know it’s foolish to put cs into another register, but I figured I’d try it since using %0 wasn’t working (the ax register doesn’t work either). I’m looking at some code that compiles fine an

  assembly x86 nasm gas opcode
  the assembly code is mov eax, 0x3a14a5 jmp eaxGAS produces an opcode of 0xB8, 0xA5, 0x14, 0x3A, 0x00 0xFF, 0xE0while NASM produces and opcode of 0x66, 0xB8, 0xA5, 0x14, 0x3A, 0x00 0x66, 0xFF, 0xE0So you see NASM preappends a 0x66 before the code. Within my program (which I won’t go into details about), the GAS opcode works correctly, and the NASM code causes a crash indicating that these two opcodes are not equal. Why does NASM preappend the 0x66 and how can I get rid of it?update: The bits

  assembly x86 gas att
  Please give me a very simple example of creating a function and calling it in x86 Assembly (AT&T syntax). Actaully I am trying to create a function that computes factorial of a number. This is what all I did :#include<syscall.h> #include<asm/unistd.h> # Calculates Factorial, Argument is passed through stack .text .global _start _start:pushl $5 #factorial of this value will be calculatedcall Factmovl %eax, %ebx #eax contains the result, Result is the return val of the progra

  assembly x86 gas divide-by-zero i386

  gcc gas
  I need to access an argument from a C functionvoid printk(char* msg);and store it into ESI. However I can not domov $msg, %esiormov $_msg, %esiBoth return a linker error (Saying that the symbol msg or _msg is undefined. I am pretty sure I could access msg by reading from the stack but it would be easier just to access the symbol msg in my assembly code. Is this even possible in GCC?

  linker embedded arm ld gas
  I’m writing a boot script for an ARM-Cortex M3 based device. If I compile the assembler boot script and the C application code and then combine the object files and transfer them to my device everything works.However, if I use ar to create an archive (libboot.a) and combine that archive with the C application there is a problem:I’ve put the boot code in a section:.section .boot, “ax”.global _start_start:.word 0x10000800 /* Initial stack pointer (FIXME!) */.word start.word
