Hi, I'm trying to make a Hello World program in assembly without depending on libc. Here's what I have so far: DATA string+0(SB)/7, $"Hello\n\z" GLOBL string+0(SB), $7 TEXT _main+0(SB), 1, $0 // first arg; $1 = stdout MOVL $1, (SP) // second arg, address of string MOVL $string+0(SB), 4(SP) // third arg, $7 = length of string MOVL $7, 8(SP) // fourth argument, -1LL (vlong offset) MOVL $-1, 12(SP) MOVL $-1, 16(SP) // use pwrite syscall MOVL $51, AX INT $64 RET
No two cents from me. Just posted this to say that AT&T syntax is "sickly." I suppose Anant Narayanan is assembling these using 8a, and given the "symptoms" (the syntax, that is) 8a must be using AT&T syntax. I am wondering if there is an Intel syntax assembler for Plan 9 (something akin to Netwide Assembler or yet better Flat Assembler).
