Problem 1

Your assignment is to add a new function to 231Lib2.asm called _printRegs.

• Take your 231Lib.asm library and make a copy of it called 231Lib2.asm.

 cp 231Lib.asm 231Lib2.asm

• Add a globalstatement at the top of the program (with the other similar statements):

global _printRegs

• Go to the end of the file and add a new function called _printRegs

• Your new function should display the contents of eax, ebx, ecx, edx, edi, and esi, in this order:

• in hexadecimal (you should have a function for that)
• as an unsigned number (_printDec will do that for you)
• as a 2's complement signed number (you have to figure this part out).

• Submit you 231Lib2.asm program to Moodle when done

Testing

• To test your new function, create a new program that will be linked with your modified library, and will display all the registers.
• Example test program:

;;;  extern functions that will be linked to this program
;;;  they are contained in 231Lib2.asm

extern  _printDec
extern  _printString
extern  _println
extern  _getInput
extern  _printRegs

                section .text
                global  _start
_start: 
                mov   eax, 0xFFFFFFFF
                mov   ebx, 0
                mov   ecx, 0x80000000
                mov   edx, 0x7FFFFFFF
                mov   esi,  2
                mov   edi, -2
 
                call    _printRegs

                mov   eax, 0xFFFFFFFF
                mov   ebx, 0
                mov   ecx, 0x80000000
                mov   edx, 0x7FFFFFFF
                mov   esi,  2
                mov   edi, -2
 
                call    _printRegs
