CHANGELOG Feb 22, 2012
Changed the temp dir from /tmp to $HOME/tmp so everyone has write and execute perms in it. Added more cleanups including removal of the temp dir unless the user already had it and was using it.

The simplest yet, I think.. at least the C program is.

Features:

tips on how to find C/C++ header paths and declarations
tips on how to find libs containing references and definitions
a super-simple program to demangle C++ names

----------------
Note: With even a simple automatic makefile generator such as the one built from sources in this blog (

This is for intel 32 bit assembler. For 64-bits the calling convention is a bit different. See previous entries (specifically asm 64 bits) if you need a leg-up to break the 64 bit barrier.

Features:

Asm functions that can call class functions (using an object pointer) through jump vectors written in C.
Usage of extern "C" declarations to un-mangle names we need to keep simple for asm coding.

[If you really want to get down, you can use the mangled names as...

ASM: Intercepting (and using) Errors (like segfaults) in asm (aka SEH)

Posted 02-03-2012 at 04:10 PM by rainbowsally

Tags asm, assembler, computer mad science, error handling, exceptions

This is for i86 and x86_64 types but with a bit of poking around you can probably find a similar way to do this with other CPUs.

Note: This asm requires 'sigaction'. (See the test code. And bear in mind that this is not an attempt to create a full-blown system of signal handlers. Check the libc docs for 'sigaction' for ideas on how you can use something like this for a seed for a more extensive application.)

There used to be a lot of cool little programs for the...

ASM: 64 bit intel asm in linux

Posted 02-03-2012 at 04:01 PM by rainbowsally

Tags asm, assembler, computer mad science

If you're used to 32 bit asm in gcc, the 64 bit asm might throw you for a loop initially. That's because part of the stack is passed around in registers.

Let's compile a bit of test code and see what's going on.

If you're using our makefile-creator put this in a subdirectory named "src" or use whatever method you prefer if not.

file: src/main.c

Code:

// main.c
#include <stdio.h>

void  dbg(){}
