* Generate the '''listing''' of the assembly program:

      nasm -f elf -F stabs '''-l minilab1_v1.lst'''  minilab1_v1.asm            ''(that's a minus ell option in the command)''

* Look at the new files in your account:

=The Hexdump utility=

* Hexdump is a Linux utility that will take any file on your disk and '''dump''' its byte contents to the screen in hexadecimal and Ascii format (it supports many options to display the bytes in various formats; hexadecimal and Ascii is fine for us).

:Here is the output of the command <font size="+1"><tt>hexdump -C minilab1_v1</tt></font>:

This is a presentation of two solutions to the Mini Lab #1 and a discussion of the two different approaches.


Solution 1

Understanding what's inside the executable

  • Generate the listing of the assembly program:
      nasm -f elf -F stabs -l minilab1_v1.lst  minilab1_v1.asm            (that's a minus ell option in the command)
    

  • Look at the new files in your account:
      ls -l minilab1_v1.*
 
      -rwx------. 1 231a 231a 1079 Sep 12 09:18 minilab1_v1*
      -rw-------. 1 231a 231a  606 Sep 12 09:18 minilab1_v1.asm
      -rw-------. 1 231a 231a 2398 Sep 12 09:47 minilab1_v1.lst
      -rw-------. 1 231a 231a 1168 Sep 12 09:47 minilab1_v1.o 
  • Look at the listing file generated by the -l switch

  • Try to recognize all the features. What is code, what is data, what strings like "CD80" mean... (we'll do that in class!)
  • A quick review of hexadecimal: tutorial from electronics-tutorials.ws


How does this relate to the size of the executable?

The Hexdump utility

  • Hexdump is a Linux utility that will take any file on your disk and dump its byte contents to the screen in hexadecimal and Ascii format (it supports many options to display the bytes in various formats; hexadecimal and Ascii is fine for us).
Here is the output of the command hexdump -C minilab1_v1:
