x86_64 ABI: disassembly issue
First of all, please note that you're looking at unoptimized compiler output. Compiler output often ends up looking kind of stupid with optimizations turned off because the compiler literally translates every line of C into an equivalent run of assembly without bothering to even do the simplest, most obvious optimizations....
how are the passing arguments in amd64?
Lets write a sample usecase (test.c): #include <math.h> int main() { double val = sqrt(foo(8)); return 0; } double foo(double val) { val+=1; return val; } Compile it: gcc test.c -lm And then check imported symbols: readelf -Wa a.out |grep sqrt 4: 0000000000000000 0 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT UND [email protected]_2.2.5 (3)...
Why is declval present in a mangled symbol name?
Template functions need to have their return type appear in the mangled name because template functions can be overloaded on return type alone. A simpler example is template <typename T> void f() { } template <typename T> auto g() -> decltype(f<T>()) { } inline void h() { } int main()...
Boost unit test link error — abi mismatch?
c++,unit-testing,boost,linker,abi
Add -D_GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI=0 to your CPPFLAGS, then recompile. The libstdc++ that comes with gcc 5 had to make some changes to std::string and std::list for conformance with C++11. For backwards compatibility it supports a dual ABI, but it uses the new ABI by default. Your libboost_unit_test_framework.so appears to be compiled without...
Does adding enumerators into enum break ABI?
Your question is a nice example why long-term maintaining of ABI compatibility is a difficult task. The core of the problem here is that the compatibility depends not just on the given type, but also on how it is used in function/method prototypes or complex types (e.g. structures, unions etc.)....
How to program in 16 bit protected mode with more than 64kb of data?
assembly,abi,protected-mode,80286
Most 16-bit protected mode APIs took far pointers as parameters. A far pointer is a 32-bit value containing both a 16-bit offset (low order word) and a 16-bit selector (high order word, selectors refer to segments). It's passed by value by putting it on the stack like any other parameter....
Why should the same compiler as the dynamic library be used for the dependent application?
Introduction Object files and static libraries created with different compilers, or even with significantly different releases of the same compiler, often cannot be linked together. This issue is not specific to MinGW: many other compilers are mutually incompatible. Build everything from source with the same version of the same compiler...
ABI call to __aeabi_idivmod doesn't behave as expected
The problem is that your toolchain, by default, has its standard library compiled to ARM instructions - since the Cortex-M processors only support Thumb-2*, they will fault when attempting to use an interworking branch to ARM code. Now, the -mthumb option tells the compiler to compile your code to Thumb...
How to call Fortran routine with unit number argument from C
c,io,fortran,shared-libraries,abi
This is completely compiler dependent, there is no portable correspondence. See the manual of your compiler if they support some sort of interoperability as an extension.
gcc x86 / x86_64 ABI : Must ss be equal to ds/es/fs/gs?
Having SS different from other segment registers, especially different from the implicitly used ones (CS, DS) would not be very good idea. Most (practically all) x86 ABIs prescribe a flat address model, i.e. within the address space of a process, a 64-bit address refers to the same memory location, no...
Which implementations of the C programming language violate the following assumptions?
Alignment is not addressed by C99. It does not support any of your assumptions. Implementations are allowed free reign to insert padding -- or not -- in struct representations between members and/or at the end, however they see fit. The standard gives implementations enough freedom to serve the alignment requirements...
The alignement of a string
You got that wrong. A string array is an array of pointers, each pointing to a string. The array of pointers is terminated by the NULL (the 4 byte pointer). Each string in the array may be anywhere in memory, and each has its own terminating zero byte. Make a...
