In this note I will describe the process of calling C functions from assembler.
Let’s try calling printf(“Hello World!\n”); and exit(0);
message: db "Hello, world!", 10, 0
section .text
extern printf
extern exit
global main
main:
xor rax, rax
mov rdi, message
call printf
xor rdi, rdi
call exit
Everything is much simpler than it seems, in the .rodata section we will describe static data, in this case the string “Hello, world!”, 10 is the newline character, also do not forget to zero it.
In the code section, we will declare external functions printf, exit of the stdio, stdlib libraries, and also declare the entry function main:
extern printf
extern exit
global main
We pass 0 to the return register from the rax function, you can use mov rax, 0; but to speed it up, use xor rax, rax; Next, we pass a pointer to a string to the first argument:
Далее вызываем внешнюю функцию Си printf:
xor rax, rax
mov rdi, message
call printf
xor rdi, rdi
call exit
By analogy, we pass 0 to the first argument and call exit:
call exit
