Hi,
I had discontinued myself from the main mailing list, but now I do subscribe
to the digest. Regarding assembly codes in Linux, since many of us are
using i386 m/c's, we ought to use as86, a link to gas and which is expected
to compile the codes for x86 machines only.
I have seen two extensions for assembly codes in the kernel sources. One is
.S, the code for which resembles the one which we had compiled with
MASM/ TASM and the other is with .s, which looks like assembly for some
other architecture - (64 bit architectures ???). 'make' does default to
extensions,
isn't it ;-)
I had tried to write very simple two liners and tried to compile them with
as86,
but whenever I try to execute ld or ld86 (if I remember that correctly) on
the
object files (that is what we should get after compiling with as86's), I get
an
error 'bad header' types - I cannot recall the exact message, but the gist
is
obviously a bad header in the object file. What is wrong here ?
I hope to get the answer also in the digest :-)
