I am trying to print a single digit integer in nasm assembly on linux. What I currently have compiles fine, but nothing is being written to the screen. Can anyone explain to me
After reviewing the other two answers this is what I finally came up with.
sys_exit equ 1
sys_write equ 4
stdout equ 1
section .bss
outputBuffer resb 4
section .text
global _start
_start:
mov ecx, 1 ; Number 1
add ecx, 0x30 ; Add 30 hex for ascii
mov [outputBuffer], ecx ; Save number in buffer
mov ecx, outputBuffer ; Store address of outputBuffer in ecx
mov eax, sys_write ; sys_write
mov ebx, stdout ; to STDOUT
mov edx, 1 ; length = one byte
int 0x80 ; Call the kernel
mov eax, sys_exit ; system exit
mov ebx, 0 ; exit 0
int 0x80 ; call the kernel again
