To find 32-bit Machine Language representation of jal func, first thing you'd need is the...
Setting a float/double to a constant value in AT&T inline assembly
You can't make your inline assembly code portable to Microsoft's C/C++ compiler for two reasons. The first is that syntax for asm statements is too different. Microsoft's compiler expects something like asm { mov rax, [rbp + 8] } instead of asm("movq -8(%rbp), %rax\n\t"). The second is that Microsoft 64-bit...
Declaring Variables in the .data Versus on the Stack - ASM
Variables created in the .data section are directly accessable from every procedure. LOCAL variables are only present in the specific procedure and getting popped from the stack as soon as the procedure ends. What do you mean exactly with "end up with a random value"?

Swap the two middle bytes of a word using 4 ARM instructions
The hint tells you to create BB XOR CC then apply that to BB and CC. It's an example of the well known XOR swap. Something like this: EOR R1, R0, R0, LSR #8 @ R1 = AA BB^AA CC^BB DD^CC AND R1, R1, #0xff00 @ R1 = 00 00...
Equivalent to asm volatile in Gfortran?
No, there isn't. The easiest way around it is to have a C function with the asm, and then call that C function with ISO_C_BINDING.
Why does main function differ from other function from stack point of view
c,assembly,operating-system,stack-trace
Nope, the memory is not dynamically allocated. In the function before main (_start), argv and argc are pushed onto the stack for usage with main The change in address has nothing to do with the number of arguments. It could be the batting of a butterfly's wings in another...
Linux AMD64 call C libary functions from copied assembly
Maybe you could do push %rbp mov %rsp, %rbp # puts("Hello World\n") mov $_message, %rdi mov $puts, %eax call %eax pop %rbp ret and thus forcing the call to become an absolute one. The question is whether assembler doesn't optimize this out for its own purposes....
How does this instruction look in memory?
IA32 processors have a default code size, in 16 bit code segments (or in real mode) is (guess) 16 bit. In 32 bit and 64 bit code segments it is 32 bit. Instructions like mov eax, 3ch are actually something like mov A, 3ch where A is the A register...
Reversing a string and printing it in IA32 assembly
string,assembly,x86,att,reversing
Your immediate problem is cmpb '\n', %al which is missing the $ sign required in at&t syntax to make it an immediate. As it is, '\n' is considered an address, and an invalid one at that. You should use cmpb $'\n', %al. However scanf will not place '\n' into your...

Ouch, long time I haven't seen a call from 16 bits C to assembly ... C or C++ allows passing a variable number of arguments provided callee can determine the number because it pushes all arguments in opposite order before calling the function, and the caller cleans up the stack...
MinGW's ld cannot perform PE operations on non PE output file
Old MinGW versions had the problem that "ld" was not able to create non-PE files at all. Maybe current versions have the same problem. The work-around was creating a PE file with "ld" and then to transform the PE file to binary, HEX or S19 using "objcopy"....
How should the byte sequence 0x40 0x55 be interpreted by an x86-64 emulator?
As Jongware states in his comment the 40 REX prefix is ignored. The reason why you're seeing this however isn't because of a broken compiler, but because the compiler is following the Windows x64 ABI. Functions are required to begin with an instruction that's at least two-bytes long to allow...
Assembly 8086 addressing mode
You wrote [130], not 130. Are you sure that's correct? I don't know whether (and I don't think) that's possible. "The Art of Assembly Language" calls this "Based Indexed Plus Displacement Addressing Mode". The default segment in this case is DS (because you use BX), which means your instruction is...

square brackets in inline assembly
In order to use lea rax, [rip] in inline assembly with GCC you need to convert it to AT&T syntax and the quote it correctly so the % characters aren't interpreted as operand substitutions. So for example: asm volatile ("lea (%%rip),%%rax" ::: "rax"); Note that since this doesn't actually do...

if you perform SHR 00110000b you would end up with 00011000b If you shifted one bit to the right, yes. You can specify the shift amount, so it's not fixed at 1. However, if you were to perform SHR on 11111111b you would end up with an incorrect answer...
Using Assembly global variable in C
c,assembly,makefile,global-variables
You must use the compiler's -c option if you want to compile a C source into an object file. Without it, gcc tries to go on linking, which is not what you want. E.g. b.o: b.c gcc -c -m32 -Wall -g b.c should get you a bit further....
Reserve bytes in stack: x86 Assembly (64 bit)
Is "$32" means 32 bytes ?($number means constant ?) If yes then how are we allocating 32 bytes on 64 bit register? These 32 bytes are not allocated on 64 bit register. They are allocated on the stack. By lowering the stackpointer (which is in %rsp) the address range...
puts implementation in assembly with nasm x86-64
Two problems. One, the call strlen is allowed to clobber some registers which include rdi and you need that later. So, surround the call strlen with push rdi and pop rdi to save and restore it. Second, you do not initialize rdi in the print_newline block. You need to set...

I don't think there's any way to convince the OpenWatcom compiler to emit a group based segment relocation. Part of the problem is that there's no way to declare or define the group so that you can refer to it in the inline assembly. However, it appears the OpenWatcom linker...
how stack differs in 32 bit and 64 bit processors
char * args[2]; Is an array of two pointers. On 32-bit machines, pointers (addresses, but not necessarily) are 32 bits wide, and on 64-bit machines, pointers (and never addresses) are 64 bits wide. That means, that the area on the stack in the current stack frame must be 2 *...
GCC emits vastly different code using “-march=native” on similar architectures
AVX is disabled because the entire AMD Bulldozer family does not handle 256-bit AVX instructions efficiently. Internally, the execution units are only 128-bit wide. So 256-bit operations are split up thereby providing no benefit over 128-bit. To add insult to injury, on Piledriver, there's a bug in the 256-bit store...

If you're not allowed to modify the code then search for a 0CBh or 0CAh byte anywhere in the code segment. These are far return instructions, but they don't actually have used for that purpose by the code. You just need to find a byte with either of these values....
Using gas, how can I get the offset to a particular label?
Since labels wouldn't work, I dug through the gas documentation and found that it's also possible to create expression symbols, and that one could use . to get the location's address. As it turns out, with the Mach-O output format, gas will accept this: .set main, . sub edx, edx...

Why Masm32 only give 1 to 100 result for add and subtraction operation and beyond that I got wrong answer?
All of these operations in your code are incorrect: mov[num1 + eax-3], 0 StdIn returns the number of characters read, excluding the NUL terminator. So if you entered 100, eax will be 3, so you'll set the very first byte to 0, thereby making num1 an empty string. Even worse,...

ARM assembly cannot use immediate values and ADDS/ADCS together
Somewhat ironically, by using UAL syntax to solve the first problem you've now hit pretty much the same thing, but the other way round and with a rather more cryptic symptom. The only Thumb encodings for (non-flag-setting) mov with an immediate operand are 32-bit ones, however Cortex-M0 doesn't support those,...
Does RIP-relative addressing require 16-byte aligned?
It's the xorpd instruction. It causes and Exception of type 4, which happens when you specify an unaligned memory location with the VEX prefix before instruction (not 100% sure here). However, it's not the only one, there are about 106 more instructions that cause the same thing. ...

div di divides the 32 bit quantity dx:ax by di. We don't know what value your bx has, but presumably it produces dx=1 (due to the adc dx, dx). So the division is going to be 0x10003 / 3 = 0x5556 remainder 1, and that's exactly what you see. PS:...
IA-32 assembly: Effect of 8 bit operations on 32 bit registers
Normally the suffix is ignored/not important if proper register names are given. So the instruction above is a 32 Bit instruction because esi and ecx are 32 Bit registers.
