Re: How can I do calling for external address in my "C" programm by inline GAS?

On x86_64 the first parameter should go into %rdi, not %rcx. You are putting the function address into %rdi, so in effect you are treating the function address as a printf format string.

Thanks for your reply.


I did as you told me, but it is not working too :( (I had used %r15 instead
%rdi for p_printf, and %rdi for str)...

I have not ideas how I can to call func by the address.
I can't find examples of calling functions with args by address (as needs me).
I had seen examples without args only (abi, internet)...
I need help still.


Maybe you have a something tips/examples for me ?

Why not compile up a C/C++ program that does what you want, then disassemble it to figure out what it's doing - reference the ABI document as you go.


Excuse the poor coding :) but something like this might be a starting point,

#include <stdio.h>
typedef int(*ptr_type)(const char*, ...);

void do_call (ptr_type func, const char* message)
{
  (void) func (message);
}

int
main ()
{
  do_call (&printf, "Hello World\n");
  return 0;
}

the disassembly of do_call should contain things of interest to you so long as you don't put the compiler optimisation too high (otherwise it might inline into main).

Good luck,

Andrew



PS: Sorry, but I have not an experience of programming on assembler (excluding 2-3 programms "hello world" for GAS 32 bit) . I have some experience of programming on c/c++ only (And I'm away from proff, I'm an amateur, and I'm doing it for myself).
