Hey again,
Sorry for the barrage of questions.
I am now trying function power. But I am getting segmentation faults with
my own code and couldn't trace the error so I tried to reduce it till I
could locate it.
The reduced format is this:
.code32
.section .data
.section .text
.globl _start
_start:
pushl $3
pushl $2
call power
movl %eax, %ebx
addl $8, %esp
movl $1, %eax
int $0x80
.type power,@function
power:
pushl %ebp
movl %esp, %ebp
*movl %ebp, %esp*
popl %ebp
movl $5, %eax
ret
When I remove the line *in bold*, it compiles alright and gives me the
right result but when I include the offending line, it gives me an error of
segmentation fault. Why does this happen? Does it mean my processor does
not allow one to directly manipulate the %esp value?
Thanks again.
