nasm/gcc question [SOLVED]
Author
Hi, i'm trying to mix C and x86 assembly code, and i need help to compile.
main.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include "test.h"
int main(void)
{
printf("4 + 5 = %d\n", add(4, 5));
return 0;
}
test.h
int add(int a, int b);
test.asm
section .text
global _add
_add:
mov eax, [esp+4]
add eax, [esp+8]
ret
And when i compile, i first create an object file with test.asm:
nasm -f elf test.asm
and after, i link with gcc:
gcc main.c test.o
and i receive this error:
/tmp/cchlu6gd.o: In function 'main':
main.c:(.text+0x20): undefined reference to 'add'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
The problem, i think, is about the name of 'add' in the assembly file and the C file. In the 'test.asm' file, if i change the name '_add' for 'add' it doesn't compile.
Any suggestion ??

The ELF object format doesn't actually use underscores before symbols, so that might be the cause of it.

Add is the name of a nasm instruction, try changing the name of your function?
That's it. Lose the underscores and rename your function.

I think, between them, these two have got it. You need to remove the underscore, since ELF does not use them. However, when you do so, NASM sees your "add" label as an instruction.
EDIT: Beaten!

and if i have to compile without the 'elf' which kind of option should i choose ?

IT'S WORKING
it was a name problem with 'add', I changed it to 'adding' and remove the underscore and it works just fine
thanx for your answer, and how quickly you answer it
