Hi!
I'm trying to write very simple server app. I'm having trouble with recv function.
Code:
ssize_t recv(int s, void *buf, size_t len, int flags);    

In C its very easy, just declare char array and give it as a second argument for recv(); How can I do it with asm? I think I need to find a free space in the stack, and give recv(); function address, and then latter I could read the received data! How can I do this? This is how far I get:
Code:
...
           push 0x00                   ; int flags
           push 0x0a                   ; size_t len
           push long esp              ; void *buf
           mov esi, esp                ; save the addresss
           push edi                       ; int s

           mov eax, 0x66             ; sockcall();
           mov ebx, 0x0a             ; recv();
           mov ecx, esi                 ; address to the recv(); arguments on the stack
           int 0x80                       ; call the kernel

           mov eax, 4                   ; write();
           mov ebx, 1                   
           mov ecx, esi                 ; the address where recv. data should be
           mov edx, 25               
           int 0x80
...    

All I get is: öÿ¿<!DOCTYPE ,öÿ¿ I think I give the recv(); wrong address! Do I have to allocate space on the stack like in C with malloc? How can I do it with FASM? Thank you!

To allocated some stack you can do
Code:
sub esp, SIZE_OF_BUFFER     ;; now esp points the buffer 
mov esi, esp                ;; then save it or use it
    


I'm not sure if SIZE_OF_BUFFER must be multiple of 4.
And don't forget to clean it up before returning from the function.
Code:
;; you can always do
add esp, SIZE_OF_BUFFER
;; at the right place between push and pop blocks

Thanks man, that worked!
What are the limitations? Whats the maximum that, I can allocate?
