Use of the EBX register inside that function causes segmentation fault (after return from function). It seems like gcc is using EBX instead of EBP before function call. Program compiled using clang works properly. Bug was noticed firstly on gcc 5.3.0 version, but is still present on latest repository version. main.c file : #include "f.h" // only void f(int); + guardian int main() { int var = 4; f(var); return 0; } f.s file : section .text global f f: push ebp mov ebp, esp mov eax, [ebp+8] mov ebx, 0 begin: mov cl, [eax] mov ebx, 0 add cl, 1 mov [eax], cl mov esp, ebp pop ebp ret
