I have a program that contains the following line:

Code:

public start as '_start'

however when I compile it I get this error

Quote:

flat assembler version 1.71.39 (16384 kilobytes memory)
arch/x86_64/boiler.asm [8]:
public start as '_start'
error: illegal instruction.

I have also tried:

Code:

public start

but I get the same error.

Can anyone tell me why this is happening. Oh, and if I did anything wrong please be polite about it. I am new to this forum. Well, I've been here before, but just viewing.

You have to set the output format correctly for public to be usable. Unfortunately you haven't given enough detail in the code you posted for us to determine what is actually wrong.

Sorry, here's all of it:

Code:

use64

public start as '_start'
extrn os_main

start:
  call os_main ; Calls the main function in the Cs file

  cli  ; Clear interrupts
  hlt ; Halt the CPU

However, specifying a format fixed it! Thank you!
