Author Topic: Memory access error when I start program made with calling an assemble function  (Read 13980 times)

I have a 64 Bit PC using Debian 10 as the operating system with all updates installed.

The C - file, called main.c,  looks very simple:

//**************************************

#include <stdio.h>

extern void test(void);    // This is the function, that is defined in test.asm

int main(int argc, char * argv[]) {
    printf("Start here !\n");   
    test();
    printf("Ready !\n");
    return 0;
}

// **************************************
The assembly file, called test.asm looks simple too:

The function only returns to the caller

;**************************************
default rel

section .data             ; Data section, initialized variables

section .bss            ; Data section, uninitialized variables

section .txt

global test

test:                       
        ret
;**************************************

Now I create the obj file from test.asm using the following command line:

nasm -Wall -f elf64 test.asm -o test.o

This call functions without any error messages  :)

Now I compile the file main.c and link both object files together main.o + test.o to an executable called 'main' using the following commandline:

gcc -Wall -m64 main.c test.o -o main

This call functions without any error messages too.

When I try to start the executable called main, the only thing the program does is to create a crash and an error message that shows me:

xxxx@debian:~/Assembler$ ./main
Start here !
Speicherzugriffsfehler
xxxx@debian:~/Assembler$

The error message "Speicherzugriffsfehler" means nothing else than Memory access error   >:(

How can I solve this problem ?

Thank you for every help !

try
