assembling and running nasm
There are many ways to run nasm. This section chooses to use only one way for one system. Modify to suit your needs. This is for nasm running on Linux on an Intel IA-32 computer, e.g. 386, 486, pentium. gcc, the "C" compilation system and libraries are used. The next section will cover gdb, the debugger that comes with gcc. Use your favorite editor to create a nasm assembly language file. e.g. hello.asm shown below. Type the command: nasm -f elf -l hello.lst hello.asm If your program had no assembly time errors, nothing displays. If you had assembly time errors, fix them and repeat the command. Two files are created by the command hello.o and hello.lst Verify this by typing the command ls -l Type the command: gcc -o hello hello.o If your program had no link time errors, nothing displays. If you had link time errors, fix the .asm file and repeat the command. There is now an executable file hello Verify this by typing the command ls -l Execute (run) your program by typing the command: hello The output should be displayed. That is all there is to do, assuming your output is what you expected. Most of the time, the output will be wrong. Start by finding the first error in your output, then look in the .asm file to check the code that was supposed to generate the good output. You may also want to check the .lst file in the same area. The .lst file shows addresses. instructions and data as numbers. This is harder to read, yet may explain the error. If you can not find the error (bug) then use the next section, gdb, to help debug your program.
running the debugger, gdb
The gdb debugger is designed for interactive use. gdb is started with the command gdb For this session, the intarith.asm from the samples is bring used. The commands for a sample session are shown, as typed, then explained. gdb intarith break main run set disassembly-flavor intel disassemble main x/90xb main info registers print/x $esp print/x $eax nexti print/x $esp print/x $eax next info float info stack q y For all of the samples in this WEB page, "main" is used because it is the standard gcc name for the main program. The debugger works for "C" programs, best if the -g3 option is used. At the time this WEB page was prepared nasm would not add debugging information, even with the -g option. The first command to gdb, when the (gdb) prompt appears is break main This sets a breakpoint on the address of "main" the start of the program being debugged. The next command runs the program until the breakpoint is reached run For use with nasm, it is best to set the flavor to intel set disassembly-flavor intel Then, the disassembly can be seen disassemble main To see the raw bytes in storage that are the program x/90xb main The number 90 is just a sample. By looking at the disassembly, the number of bytes main could be determined. To see what is in the integer registers info registers Note that both hexadecimal and integer values are shown To look at specific registers, use print/x or print/d with a dollar sign in front of the register name. print/x $esp print/x $eax To step one instruction nexti Then look at registers again print/x $esp print/x $eax If there were line number debug information in the executable file, then "next" would setp one line, rather than one instruction. For this case, "next" runs the program to completion. next For demonstration, the floating point registers may be displayed info float The stack can be displayed info stack To quit gdb, the single letter "q" is the complete command q And, gdb requires the confirmation to quit, using a "y". y The output from the above, slightly edited to fit on lines and with a blank line before each command,is intarith.gdb the source file is intarith.asm the assembler list file is intarith.lst Note that the assembler list file is the most useful file to have when running the debugger. >gdb intarith > intarith.gdb GNU gdb Red Hat Linux (5.2-2) Copyright 2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
