Preparation
- Make sure you have a file in your working directory that contains 231Lib.asm, a library with functions for printing various quantities, as well as for inputting numbers.
- Create 2 different programs in your working directory, one called hw4_func.asm, and the other called hw4.asm, and copy the code below into both of them:
- hw4.asm:
;;; ; hw4.asm ;;; ; D. Thiebaut ;;; ; ;;; ; Demo program for Homework 4 ;;; ; extern functions that will be linked to this program ;;; ; contained in 231Lib.asm and hw4_func.asm extern _printDec extern _printString extern _println extern _getInput extern demoFunc ;;; ----------------------------------------------------------- section .data a dd 3 msg3 db "eax = " MSG3LEN equ $-msg3 ;;; ----------------------------------------------------------- section .text global _start _start: ;; print "eax = " mov ecx, msg3 mov edx, MSG3LEN call _printString ;; print contents of eax, which contains a mov eax, dword[a] call _printDec call _println ;; pass a to demoFunc through eax mov eax, dword[a] call demoFunc ;; print "eax = " mov ecx, msg3 mov edx, MSG3LEN call _printString ;; print contents of eax, as returned by demoFunc call _printDec call _println ;;; exit mov ebx, 0 mov eax, 1 int 0x80
- hw4_func.asm
;;; ; hw4_func.asm ;;; ; D. Thiebaut ;;; ; Demo program for Homework 4 global demoFunc ;global, so it can be accessed ; from other programs. ;;; ---------------------------------------------------- ;;; demoFunc: returns eax * 4 + 1 ;;; ---------------------------------------------------- demoFunc: add eax, eax add eax, eax inc eax ret
- Assemble, link, and run the programs as follows:
nasm -f elf 231Lib.asm nasm -f elf hw4.asm nasm -f elf hw4_func.asm ld -melf_i386 231Lib.o hw4.o hw4_func.o -o hw4 ./hw4
- Output:
eax = 3 eax = 13
- Note that the result, 13, is 4 * eax + 1, which is what the function computes, given the number it receives in eax. The result is returned in eax, as well.
Your Assignment

- Given the new contents for hw4.asm, given above, add the missing functions to hw4_func.asm so that the output of the program will become:
sum = 28 average = 7 eax = 65 ebx = 37 3*eax - ebx + 2*ecx - 1 = 36 3*eax - ebx + 2*ecx - 1 = 414 139 6 1 1 4
Submission
- Submit your hw4_func.asm file (only, no need for hw4.asm) on Moodle, in the HW 4 PB 1 section.
Notes
Note 1
- You are allowed to declare additional variables in your data section, if you need to. Just add a section .data block to your hw4_func.asm. Do not modify your hw4.asm, since you will not be submitting your hw4.asm. A slightly different hw4.asm will be used to test your hw4_func.asm program, passing different values to your functions to make sure they work well.
Note 2
When Moodle compares your output to the expected output, it uses the diff Linux command, which highlights differences between the two outputs by displaying lines that mismatch with a prefix. It uses a + sign in front of the lines from the expected output, and a - sign in front of the lines from your output that differ.
Below is an example that was generated by clicking on the debug button in Moodle, instead of evaluate:
average = 7 eax = 65 ebx = 37 - 3*eax - ebx + 2*ecx - 1 = 35 ? ^ + 3*eax - ebx + 2*ecx - 1 = 36 ? ^ - 3*eax - ebx + 2*ecx - 1 = 413 ? ^ + 3*eax - ebx + 2*ecx - 1 = 414 ? ^ 139 6 1 1 4
- The lines that do not have a prefix in front of them are the same in both the student output and the expected output.
- The lines with a + are the expected lines, and next to them are the ones with a - and are from the submitted program. The caret ^ shows where the difference is located.
