Hi all,

i just write an independent write function in assembly language to write a string to stderr. But the code doesn't work on Solaris.
It seems you are using Gcc inline asm which will generate a system call by issuing "int 0x91".

But you should know, doesn't like Linux, on 32bit x86, Solaris passes parameters via stack by "push" instead of using registers.

That means, you should besides using %eax as syscall number, you should push necessary parameters into stack before issuing "int 0x91".

You could use mdb debug your program by setting break point before int 0x91, check whether you provide right parameters in stack and %eax.


Below is the code:

void write_stderr ( char * buf, int n )
{
  int block[2];
  block[0] = (int) buf;
  block[1] = n;
  __asm__ volatile (
"pushl %%ebx\n" "movl %0, %%ebx\n" "pushl %%ebx\n" "movl 0(%%ebx), %%ecx\n"
     "movl  4(%%ebx), %%edx\n"
"movl $4, %%eax\n" "movl $2, %%ebx\n" "int $0x91\n" "popl %%ebx\n" "movl %%eax, 0(%%ebx)\n"
     "popl  %%ebx\n"              : /*wr*/
     : /*rd*/    "g" (block)
     : /*trash*/ "eax", "edi", "ecx", "edx", "memory", "cc"
  );
}

Does anyone know where i am wrong?
Thank you!

Regards,
adam
