I have finally got my OS working again
Now I'm working on the stdlib for developers, and I've already run into a problem.
I'm trying this for my putc function:
Code:
__asm__ __volatile__ ( "movb %0,%edx" : : "d" ( c ) );
__asm__ __volatile__ ( "movd $0x1,%eax" );
__asm__ __volatile__ ( "int $0x15" );
__asm__ __volatile__ ( "movd $0x1,%eax" );
__asm__ __volatile__ ( "int $0x15" );
This is the syscall my operating system supports to handle the same thing as 'putc' in kernel-space. EDX is meant to hold the character.
GCC complains with this error message:
Code:
putc_stdlib.c:5: error: invalid 'asm': operand number missing after %-letter
Edit: fixed it:
Code:
__asm__ __volatile__ ( "movb %0,%%dl" : : "d" ( c ) );
__asm__ __volatile__ ( "movb $0x1,%al" );
__asm__ __volatile__ ( "int $0x15" );
__asm__ __volatile__ ( "movb $0x1,%al" );
__asm__ __volatile__ ( "int $0x15" );
EDIT: 4 years later... wow
Check out the inline assembly examples for a much better way to do this kind of thing.
Also, the actual problem is in "mov %0, %dl", which should be "mov %0, %%dl" in this context.
