I'm starting a project that will be written in assembly language. I had intended to use HLA, but I can't get on their mailing list, and I'm hesitant to commit to using HLA without live support --- that is why I'm considering NASM now. What had impressed me about HLA was that it comes with a large library, and that programs can assemble for either Windows or Linux so long as the programs restrict themselves to using this library. Is there anything like that for NASM? Specifically, for console interface, file access and serial communication? It may be too complicated to support both Windows and Linux, in which case I will support Linux --- but it would be nice to support both. Also, other than the Windows/Linux issue, I was impressed with HLA's library in general. Are there any libraries of NASM code available? I would be interested in basic data-structure support (lists, arrays, associative arrays, etc.), such as I provided in my Forth novice package: http://www.forth.org/novice.html Is there a repository of NASM code somewhere? Does NASM work with any debugger, such as GDB? Is NASM source-code available, and if so, is it BSD or GPL license? What language is it written in?

If the user uses an instruction that is not supported by the CPU, the assembler can warn about this. This can help to keep code running on old machines. What do you think about this?

I want to link my nasm program to user32.lib, which I have done, but when I use the microsoft visual studio link command with user32.lib, I still get told that MessageBoxA is undefined. How do I do this? I am aware of alink, but it seems to be a work in progress and I'd rather just link to the normal libraries if I possibly can; help is appreciated. Thanks in advance, </pre> Littlefield, Tyler 2011-08-11T14:12:39 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.nasm.general/310 <pre>Hi guys, I am trying to learn x86 assembly with NASM since it uses the less hideous Intel syntax! However the debugger front end I tried doesn't seem to recognize this format and I can't set breakpoints. Whoever is using NASM on Linux can you explain your environment a bit, what tools should I be using etc. for best results.

I have the following: section .data ptr dd 0 array times 100 db 0 Now, when I want to assign array to p, I can't mov it--how can I assign the pointer to point there? Last, is there a way to get the type of processor? (32-64), as that will make a difference on the code in some places? </pre> Littlefield, Tyler 2010-12-17T06:27:14 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.nasm.general/293 <pre>-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello all, I'm looking for a few things, and maybe someone can help me out some. I've been toying with asm for a while, but I'd really like to dive in. One of my problems is proper information on what things like enter and leave do, etc. Is there a good reference somewhere? I'm also curious of the output of a .lst file, and how it's organized: There don't seem to be column headers, so I'm having issues figuring out what's what with my reader. Also, are there some good nasm samples out there to play with? Iseen a text editor, but that might just confuse me, then confuse me again. - -- Thanks, Tyler Littlefield -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJMtPOqAAoJELDPyrppriJP0EsH/A6D51h8OmLTBtmM6AHMG+ej A7yKHn7GvjPqxqdxGzekJ0vZzN5reri/P2gY+D+7DyC3MTFNMqkAjKiNTcNutdy3 UtJEVvm3Nc4nT6skbDQr1BjCOX9vX2XF4/Tid7Ss26QRIv3sJlr+aFPzAMCgnCDQ DO390LYqdasVmlQKyafAVASNZqwTnurCYTkcD4aoXMUYtrc+9j0wrEYtrVi2C0ma 9haac+C3+nAjFHtkWSaIOdSceE8XgAK7lsxUvNhdxcylVxUprqTnYzXl+XPQr3YG Ff1R0i+zu9PF8mIN3GD27u7zPb4mbCwGAHv/KJO8PX5QgyaBIawwnmPOIzoULsQ= =mlRw -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Beautiful is writing same markup.

Strangely, manually running the same nasm command with the same values of all environment variables on the computer where it just failed, produces the correct output, but running the build script always fails on that same computer. When nasm fails in that buildscript on that machine, it randomly chooses between two different failure modes: A (most frequent): nasm reports success (no messages and 0 exit code), but the generated .obj file is empty (not 0-byte), containing no code, data or symbols, just a valid .obj file header (This obviously leads to a later linker error). B (less frequent): nasm aborts claiming that all the local symbols are undefined. On the other build machine, nasm just works as expected for the same files. What could be causing this and how do I work around this? P.S. The machine in question is an automated build server which has no trouble building millions of other lines of code (none of them with nasm though). It runs Win2003 server (i386), cross compiling for multiple target architectures (including x86_64). P.P.S I am new to this list, hope my question is OK. P.P.P.S The error messages when failing in mode B are: nasm -f win64 -DNEAR -Ox -g -o tmp32\x86_64cpuid.obj tmp32\x86_64cpuid.asm (above is one long line wrapped for e-mail) tmp32\x86_64cpuid.asm:5: error: symbol `OPENSSL_cpuid_setup' undefined tmp32\x86_64cpuid.asm:18: error: symbol `L$spin' undefined tmp32\x86_64cpuid.asm:54: error: symbol `L$intel' undefined tmp32\x86_64cpuid.asm:65: error: symbol `L$intel' undefined tmp32\x86_64cpuid.asm:71: error: symbol `L$intel' undefined tmp32\x86_64cpuid.asm:81: error: symbol `L$done' undefined tmp32\x86_64cpuid.asm:84: error: symbol `L$done' undefined tmp32\x86_64cpuid.asm:86: error: symbol `L$done' undefined tmp32\x86_64cpuid.asm:91: error: symbol `L$nocacheinfo' undefined tmp32\x86_64cpuid.asm:104: error: symbol `L$notintel' undefined tmp32\x86_64cpuid.asm:108: error: symbol `L$notintel' undefined tmp32\x86_64cpuid.asm:112: error: symbol `L$done' undefined tmp32\x86_64cpuid.asm:115: error: symbol `L$done' undefined tmp32\x86_64cpuid.asm:120: error: symbol `L$done' undefined tmp32\x86_64cpuid.asm:136: error: symbol `L$ot' undefined tmp32\x86_64cpuid.asm:138: error: symbol `L$ret' undefined tmp32\x86_64cpuid.asm:143: error: symbol `L$ittle' undefined tmp32\x86_64cpuid.asm:149: error: symbol `L$aligned' undefined tmp32\x86_64cpuid.asm:153: error: symbol `L$ot' undefined tmp32\x86_64cpuid.asm:159: error: symbol `L$aligned' undefined tmp32\x86_64cpuid.asm:161: error: symbol `L$ittle' undefined NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '!NASM208DIR!\nasm.EXE' : return code '0x1' (The symbols in question are defined on lines before they are used, the errors report the lines where they are used). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Beautiful is writing same markup.
