I'm trying to use a function in assembly, invoked from a C project. This function is supposed to call a libc function let's say printf(), but I keep getting a segmentation fault.
In the .c file I have the declaration of the function let's say
int do_shit_in_asm()
In the .asm file I have
.extern printf
.section .data
printtext:
.ascii "test"
.section .text
.global do_shit_in_asm
.type do_shit_in_asm, @function
do_shit_in_asm:
pushl %ebp
movl %esp, %ebp
push printtext
call printf
movl %ebp, %esp
pop %ebp
ret
Any pointers comments would be appreciated.
as func.asm -o func.o
gcc prog.c func.o -o prog
Change push printtext to push $printtext.
As it is, you're loading a value from the address printtext and pushing that, rather than pushing the address. Thus, you're passing 'test' as a 32-bit number, rather than a pointer, and printf is trying to interpret that as an address and crashing.
