freebsd asm

[José Nicolás Castellano]

Hello to all,

I'm proud to join this mailing, having posibilities to learn some new
features of freebsd system.

I have to mention i did some tests in asm from freebsd-devel and i get
surprised, look at this:

[demon]~$ uname -a
FreeBSD demon.noconname.org 5.2.1-RELEASE-p4 FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE-p4 #0:
Tue Apr  6 19:35:49 CEST 2004
root at demon.noconname.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/NocONName  i386

[demon]~$ cat hello.asm
%include 'system.inc'
section .data
hola    db      'Hola', 0Ah
hbytes  equ     $-hola
section .text
global  _start
_start:
push    dword   hbytes
push    dword   hola
push    dword   stdout
sys.write
push    dword   0
sys.exit

[demon]~$ nasm -f elf hello.asm
hello.asm:1: fatal: unable to open include file `system.inc'

¿Where is that file?... the -current port of nasm is incomplete ?

Ok... we take some modifications...

<< %include 'system.inc'
<<push    dword   stdout   , and we replace it with push    dword   1

ok. compile... linking...

[demon]~$ nasm -f elf hello.asm
[demon]~$ ld -s -o hello hello.o

[demon]~$ ./hello
Bus error (core dumped)


 what's happening???
