Hello,
I am trying to use and include an object file with my ('as') assembly program.
I'm fairly new to the assembly world, did some SPARC years ago in school, but I'm having problems finding the right resources that explain how to include and link object files.
I'm trying to include the file 'asm_io.inc' in test.s by:
-------------------------------------------------- // top of test.s
.include "asm_io.inc"
--------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------- // asm_io.inc:
extern read_int, print_int, print_string extern read_char, print_char, print_nl extern sub_dump_regs, sub_dump_mem, sub_dump_math, sub_dump_stack
%macro dump_regs 1 push dword %1 call sub_dump_regs %endmacro
; ; usage: dump_mem label, start-address, # paragraphs %macro dump_mem 3 push dword %1 push dword %2 push dword %3 call sub_dump_mem %endmacro
%macro dump_math 1 push dword %1 call sub_dump_math %endmacro
%macro dump_stack 3 push dword %3 push dword %2 push dword %1 call sub_dump_stack %endmacro
Perhaps this is in issues of assembler-specific syntax for header files? I tried to search for solutions, but I am not even that familiar with the terms that I should be searching for!
I get the following errors when I try to assemble (as -o test.o test.s):
asm_io.inc: Assembler messages: asm_io.inc:1: Error: no such instruction: 'extern read_int,print_int,print_string' asm_io.inc:2: Error: no such instruction: 'extern read_char,print_char,print_nl' asm_io.inc:3: Error: no such instruction: 'extern sub_dump_regs,sub_dump_mem,sub_dump_math,sub_dump_stack'
and a bunch of these (one for each %):
asm_io.inc:13: Error: junk at end of line, first unrecognized character is '%'
I can do my best to provide more info if needed; any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance.
