Hello I am new to assembly and I downloaded FASM to run Assembly code.

I need to write a small program like this

Sum:

push; %ebp
movl %esp, %ebp
movl 8(%ebp), %ecx
movl 12(%ebp), %edx
xorl %eax, %eax
testl %edx, %edx
je .L34

.L35:
addl (%ecx), %eax
addl $4, %ecx
decl %edx
jnz .L35

.L34:

movl %ebp, %esp
popl %ebp
ret

The problem is that i am not sure how to run it in FASM, do i need to do a include somewhere or something? my pc is a 64bit and also when i compile something it gives me an error, but if i import one of the examples it works fine.,..

Thank you for your help

Regards

That's GAS syntax. Fasm uses Intel syntax. But, even if you were to run that, it wouldn't do anything you could see because it has no output.

Intel:

Code:

Sum:
push ebp
mov  ebp, esp
mov  ecx, ebp + 8 ; I think
mov  edx, ebp + 12 ; I think
xor  eax, eax
test edx, edx
je   .L34

.L35:
add  eax, ecx
add  ecx, 4
dec  edx
jnz  .L35

.L34:
mov  esp, ebp
pop  ebp
ret

edprog: What you have there is AT&T syntax and fasm can't assemble that.

And what you have is a function, not a program. You have to have a full program before you can run anything. fasm does not run code, it only assembles code for running later in your OS.

BTW Tyler:

Code:

mov  ecx, [ebp + 8]
mov  edx, [ebp + 12]

Thank you revolution

Yes it is the code generated (per the book) from the function in C

int Sum(int *Start, int Count)
{

int sum = 0;
while(Count) {
sum += *Start;
Start++;
Count--;
}
return sum;
}

I need to make it run somewhere, there is another program i will need to write with arrays but thats a topic for later,... so basically is there anyway I could see output when running this type of code?, like a manifest of how the data is allocated in memory or something.. some sort of output file?

Thank you Gentlemen

Or what can I use to run thes e programs, they give me two options

IA32 Code or Y86 Code.. I am jus tlost on where and how to run these programs..

Thank you

After I ran the program with FASM, with your correction it compiles perfectly, is there anywhere i could see in more detail what the program is doing?, or how can I pass some parameters to this function to show me an output?, I know C, C++ but its the first time I am doing assembly.

Thank you

Have a look at OllyDbg. You can follow the execution one instruction at a time. But you will need a small wrapper section to call the function with some values for it to make sense.

Code:

include 'win32ax.inc'

.data

values:
    dd      34,78,12,3535,66
    count   =5

.code

start:
   ccall   Sum,values,count
    ;return value is in eax
     invoke  ExitProcess,eax

Sum:
     push    ebp
 mov     ebp,esp
     mov     ecx,[ebp+8]
 mov     edx,[ebp+12]
        xor     eax,eax
     test    edx,edx
     je      .L34
    .L35:
       add     eax,[ecx]
   add     ecx,4
       dec     edx
 jnz     .L35
    .L34:
       mov     esp,ebp
     pop     ebp
 ret

.end start

You forgot the 'x'. WIN32AX.INC. And you forgot the data defined for values. You can copy and paste the code from the forum into the fasm editor. I posted a complete source, you don't need to add anything else like 'format' to get it running.

Hello Revolution, I am sorry, I had other things there that were causing the compilation error. Now it works fine.. so I suppose it wont show the out-put right?

Thank you

The exit code is the output sum. Not easy to use though.

But try OllyDbg anyway to help you understand what is happening.

Which one should I download

Download

Download OllyDbg 1.10 (final version)

Download Plugin Development Kit 1.10 (requires OllyDbg 1.10)

Download free source of command line plugin (requires OllyDbg 1.08 or 1.10 and Borland's BCB 5.0)

Older versions

Download OllyDbg 1.08b (previous "official" release)

Download Plugin Development Kit 1.08

Version 1.00 (mostly of historical value)

You have to download OllyDbg 1.10 final.
OllyDbg is a debugger. It will load your program and will show you the instructions, registers and will execute the program instruction by instruction in order to show you how it works.

You didn't post enough of the picture. The exit code is at the bottom in the status bar. But you have to press F9 to run the program first.
