I learned elfedit with you GoneFishing, thanks.
yes, I tested and it works, your solution using elfedit is more elegant.
It's a habit when switching from one O.S. to other, look, you have used .obj instead of .o. I get the point.

On linux x86_64 we have a lot of work to do with macros, we need at least 2 of then:
one to syscall (native) and others to libraries. Should check parameters of functions, stack alignment,preserving register across called functions, registers to stack (shadow space),stack balance, ... .  :lol:

invoke function,rdi,rsi,rdx,RCX,r8,r9, push, push, push,...
and need xmm registers to floating point numbers.

scall function,arg1,arg2,arg3,arg4,arg5,arg6
scall rax,rdi,rsi,rdx,r10,r8,r9

Well, better create a preprocessing program instead of macro. We are on a wild land by using assembly, but this is what I like.
I ask myself sometimes, why not learn C, why not learn C++.
Hmm, an insane person talking to a lazy person :dazzled:

You're welcome
How do you think, should we start a new separate thread for our further discussion and leave a little bit of free space here to Bogdan ?

#32
Good idea, we can discuss in a good sense on a new thread, so we can talk not only about solasm assembler, but jwasm too and their forks like hjwasm and casm, and maybe others assemblers.
Well, only to not  pollute this topic.

Well sir GoneFishing, I was thinking about and will be better if we create a new topic about solasm examples to linux x86-64, I can create that in a near future. I have started reading solasm documentation and I'm doing some experiments. This way this topic remains to sir Bogdan show info about news on solasm.
When I talked about other's assemblers it's because we can assemble a program inside windows and port that to linux, maybe an other topic to specific assemblers.
Thanks.

Hi mineiro, Hi GoneFishing,

I am kind of busy learning for exams for IT university.
I am going to university again at "old" age ;)

I have noticed the Sol_asm bugs/problems you are talking about here.

As soon as I have some free time I will try to fix those issues and release a new version.

(after 11.06.2016 / my last exams for this year I hope ;) )

Ambition is a lame excuse for the ones not brave enough to be lazy, www.oby.ro

hello Sir Bogdan;
Good hear info about you and good luck on your's exams. Well, I'm half young and half older, at age 40 now, I continue souped.  :lol: . We get older only because body, but we can remain young forever. If the world need change simple because us, so we getting older, if we think that we can rule the world, were young.
I'm posting here some more info about solasm under linux world, so when you have time you can check.
I was not able to write/read data on a unitialized section, under linux it points to a code section instead of bss section.
I forgot now if I have tested this to initialized data section. Maybe an overview of elf header is necessary.

Other thing is about source code text new line codification. On linux a new line is LF, while on windows is CRLF, I do not have sure if macintosh is LFCR,
So, because recursion of some macros, an output is not valid.

I can be a beta tester on linux if you need, you can count with me.

Again, good luck on your It university.

Oh, I forgot to say, on solasm we can create labels like "opção" (option in portuguese), this is a good thing, does not remove this feature, latim (portuguese, spanish) programmers will like.

Simple tests to be done, one work and another not, what I was thinking is change only command line and compile to both 32 and x864-64.

usage is: ./make_32 source

make_32.sh
sol32 $1.asm $1.o -elf32
ld -m elf_i386 -o $1 $1.o
./$1 ; echo $?
rm $1.o

make_x86_64.sh
sol32 $1.asm $1.o -elf64 $2 $3 $4
elfedit --output-mach x86-64 $1.o
ld -m elf_x86_64 -o $1 $1.o
./$1 ; echo $?
rm $1.o

macro.inc

MACRO string
MARG name, symbols :req

/*
eg: sol32 source.asm source.o -elf64 -d check
this will create a fake (not valid) object file into this context but will count function parameters
need more work, how can I know if an function needs an address but we put [address]?,
this is valid to invoke and can generated errors that are hard to find

That rax register can be eax register, so I can create a macro like rax|eax==r00, this way we can reach portability.

Hi all,

I have released a new Sol_Asm version here:

http://www.oby.ro/sol_asm/files/sol_asm_2016_07_01_v36_28.zip

I have added  a "lin64" keyword for Unix System V ABI used in invoke and proc
you can also use the "varg" keyword to signal a variable arguments procedure or imported function.
(the manual is not yet updated)

I have also added two Linux elf64 samples and a Ubuntu 14.04 LTS pre compiled binary for sol_asm2.

Hi Bogdan,
I hope you've passed your exams in IT university .

Thank you for releasing new version of SOL_ASM  with new LIN64 features . I've  built lin64 samples on my UBUNTU 14.04 .
All worked fine.

Thanks again  :t

Hello sir Bodgan,
The same, I hope you've passed your exams in IT university.

Good news, I build your examples and worked fine. Today I'm busy painting a wall into my house, but at night I can do more tests.

I have seen that for a while we are not able to write into global variables. Maybe sir GoneFishing can test too.

This is a test piece.
section "text" class_code alias ".text"
section "data" class_data alias ".data"
section "bss" class_bss alias ".bss"

exit equ 60

.USE64

.data
temp2 dq 0

.bss
temp rq 1

.text
.entry _start
_start:
mov [temp2],exit
mov rcx,[temp2]
mov [temp],rcx
mov rax,[temp]
syscall


I think the answer to this is relocation or maybe a symbol table. A command line 'objdump -x source.o' show me this. I will study this case with more attention at night, for a while it's just a supposition. I have seen on others object files a section like .rodata but I never have tried create this section.

Good work sir, I know that I can call a function to reserve memory space like 'globalalloc' on windows, mmap on linux and have a global data area with r/w/x permissions, so I know how to walk on this subject, I'm just posting what I'm finding.

Now we (users) have invoke, and this speedup code a lot and turns code more easy to read. So, I only have words to say thank you Bogdan.

Hi mineiro, Hi GoneFishing,

Yes I have passed almost all of my university exams with max scores... ;)
(well I still have to find the result to one of the last exams but I hope it is ok)

Thank you both for testing Sol_Asm on Linux 64 bits ;)

I will also check the .bss  variables issues you reported and fix them when I find the bug /problem.
I will try to add an Linux 64 syscall invoke in next releases

Let me know what other stuff you think it is important / useful for Linux 64 / 32 bits ASM programming

Wow, max scores, this is the man, flawless victory.  :icon_cool:

Thanks for updating solasm, I like so much your macro approach, it's minimalistic approach with maximalistic power, original idea. I'm doing a paralell study here about object files on linux world, I start today. My intention is to create a object file by hand making.

Good job sir Bogdan.

Can you check this:

.text
.entry _start
_start:

mov al,byte [rip] ;Unknown address expresion in [] : rip
nop
;solasm generate correct code on list 1 but on list 2 that's is removed, need a prefix byte '67h' before
; mov al,[rip] ;8A 05 FC FF FF FF
;nop ;90
; 67 8A 05 FC FF FF FF

Hi mineiro,

Yes I will check the issue ;)

Hi all,

There is a new version for Sol_Asm v0.36.32 here:
http://www.oby.ro/sol_asm/files/sol_asm_2016_07_05_v36_32.zip

It fixes the .bss issue for ELF64 on Linux.

I am thinking to restart the forums in order to avoid too many messages about Sol_Asm here ;)

@mineiro:

I do not think that rip is a register known to Sol_Asm
(there is no encoding for RIP register in x64)

I guess that it is considered an "yet to be resolved" symbol in first pass and not found in second pass

Hi Bogdan,

Congratulations on your examination scores :t

If you reactivate the Solar forums, could you enable the attachment feature? It's very unpleasant to depend on file sharing sites to send links to your forums. Thanks.

Hello sir Bogdan;
Thanks, I'm downloading now your new solasm version and putting my fingers on it. All of this time and I only have build an elf header on a structured way using -binary switch. I have see that solasm accepts some keywords about C headers, I was changing all to equates, ..., old customs. I'm slow to code because I read a lot, think a lot and code a little.  :lol:

That previous code about 'rip' move to al register 90h (nop). I think that this is about PIC (position independent code).
; New method
mov ah, [rip] ; RIP points to the next instruction aka NOP
nop

; Alternative new method
lea rbx, [rip] ; RBX now points to the next instruction
nop
cmp byte ptr [rbx], 90h ; Should be equal!

; Old method (using 64-bit addressing!)
call $ + 5 ; A 64-bit call instruction is still 5 bytes wide!
pop rbx
add rbx, 5 ; RBX now points to the next instruction aka NOP
nop
mov al, [rbx]

; AH and AL should now be equal :)
cmp ah, al

Sounds interesting reactivating your forum.
