CALL & RET
« on: September 19, 2017, 06:59:45 PM »
Simple demo on how to emulate CALL and RET instructions semantics. JMP is RIP-relative.

Code: [Select]
;<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
; CALL and RET emulations
; nasm -f win64 prog.asm
; gcc -m64 prog.obj -o prog.exe
;>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
global main

extern printf

section .data
msg: db 'Hello World',0ah,0

section .text
main:
        sub     rsp,8         ;alignment

        ;CALL semantics
        push    $+7           ;5 bytes +
        jmp     tester        ;2 bytes

        add     rsp,8         ;balancing

        ;RET semantics
        add     rsp,8
        jmp     qword[rsp-8]

tester:
        sub     rsp,40       ;align + shadow
        mov     rcx,msg
        call    printf
        add     rsp,48       ;balancing + RET
        jmp     qword[rsp-8]
