#PURPOSE: This program finds the maximum number of a
# set of data items.
#
#VARIABLES: The registers have the following uses:
#
# %edi - Holds the index of the data item being examined
# %ebx - Largest data item found
# %eax - Current data item
#
# The following memory locations are used:
#
# data_items - contains the item data. A 0 is used
# to terminate the data
#
.section .data
data_items: #These are the data items
.long3,67,34,222,45,75,54,34,44,33,22,11,66,0
.section .text
.globl _start
_start:
movl $0, %edi # move 0 into the index register
movl data_items(,%edi,4), %eax # load the first byteof data
movl %eax, %ebx # since thisisthe first item, %eaxis
# the biggest
start_loop: # start loop
cmpl $0, %eax # check to see ifwe've hit the end
je loop_exit
incl %edi # load next value
movl data_items(,%edi,4), %eax
cmpl %ebx, %eax # compare values
jle start_loop # jump to loop beginning ifthenew
# one isn't bigger
movl %eax, %ebx # move the value asthe largest
jmp start_loop # jump to loop beginning
loop_exit:
# %ebx is the status code for the _exit system call
# and it already has the maximum number
movl $1, %eax #1 isthe _exit() syscall
int$0x80
程序中,
data_items:
.long 3,67,34,222,45,75,54,34,44,33,22,11,66,0
定义了一组数。.long指示声明一组数,每个数占32位,相当于C语言中的数组。
然后就逐一比较大小,最后找到一个最大的数,并把它作为程序的退出状态,调用_exit系统调用。
以下是具体操作结果:
[root@localhost Desktop]#asmax.s -o max.o
[root@localhost Desktop]# ld max.o -o max
[root@localhost Desktop]# ./max
[root@localhost Desktop]# echo $?
222
输出结果是:222
很正常!结果和预期一致。
但是后来我把数组的第四个元素的值222改成256...
再编译运行!
[root@localhost Desktop]#asmax.s -o max.o
[root@localhost Desktop]# ld max.o -o max
[root@localhost Desktop]# ./max
[root@localhost Desktop]# echo $?
0
输出结果是:0
然后我又把它改成257,再编译运行!
[root@localhost Desktop]#asmax.s -o max.o
[root@localhost Desktop]# ld max.o -o max
[root@localhost Desktop]# ./max
[root@localhost Desktop]# echo $?
1
输出结果是:1
看结果,我猜想。
1.
这是数据溢出了。
long申请的内存空间只有一个byte...8位的空间。
2.
书上说,.long声明的每个数占32位!差太远了吧!
想深一层,这会不会是Linux系统的_exit系统调用返回数据的大小只有8位!
个人觉得后者解释更为合理!
写出此文希望可以召唤高手来帮忙正解,帮小弟驱除灰色地带!
