Compile/run assembler in Linux?










53















I'm fairly new to Linux (Ubuntu 10.04) and a total novice to assembler. I was following some tutorials and I couldn't find anything specific to Linux.
So, my question is, what is a good package to compile/run assembler and what are the command line commands to compile/run for that package?

  • I'm in the same boat. I've never really picked up asm on Linux because there's no real presence. Maybe it's because on Windows cracking is all the rage.

The GNU assembler (gas) and NASM are both good choices. However, they have some differences, the big one being the order you put operations and their operands.



gas uses AT&T syntax (guide: https://stackoverflow.com/tags/att/info):



mnemonic source, destination


nasm uses Intel style (guide: https://stackoverflow.com/tags/intel-syntax/info):



mnemonic destination, source


Either one will probably do what you need. GAS also has an Intel-syntax mode, which is a lot like MASM, not NASM.

    gas has supported ".intel_syntax" for a while - I'd personally still use fasm, yasm or nasm though.

The GNU assembler is probably already installed on your system. Try man as to see full usage information. You can use as to compile individual files and ld to link if you really, really want to.



However, GCC makes a great front-end. It can assemble .s files for you. For example:



$ cat >hello.s <<"EOF"
.section .rodata # read-only static data
.globl hello
hello:
.string "Hello, world!" # zero-terminated C string

.text
.global main
main:
push %rbp
mov %rsp, %rbp # create a stack frame

mov $hello, %edi # put the address of hello into RDI
call puts # as the first arg for puts

mov $0, %eax # return value = 0. Normally xor %eax,%eax
leave # tear down the stack frame
ret # pop the return address off the stack into RIP
EOF
$ gcc hello.s -no-pie -o hello
$ ./hello
Hello, world!


The code above is x86-64. If you want to make a position-independent executable (PIE), you'd need lea hello(%rip), %rdi, and call puts@plt.



A non-PIE executable (position-dependent) can use 32-bit absolute addressing for static data, but a PIE should use RIP-relative LEA. (See also Difference between movq and movabsq in x86-64 neither movq nor movabsq are a good choice.)



If you wanted to write 32-bit code, the calling convention is different, and RIP-relative addressing isn't available. (So you'd push $hello before the call, and pop the stack args after.)




You can also compile C/C++ code directly to assembly if you're curious how something works:



$ cat >hello.c <<EOF
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
printf("Hello, world!n");
return 0;

EOF
$ gcc -S hello.c -o hello.s


See also How to remove "noise" from GCC/clang assembly output? for more about looking at compiler output, and writing useful small functions that will compile to interesting output.

    If you are using NASM, the command-line is just



    nasm -felf32 -g -Fdwarf file.asm -o file.o


    where 'file.asm' is your assembly file (code) and 'file.o' is an object file you can link with gcc -m32 or ld -melf_i386. (Assembling with nasm -felf64 will make a 64-bit object file, but the hello world example below uses 32-bit system calls, and won't work in a PIE executable.)



    Here is some more info:



    http://www.nasm.us/doc/nasmdoc2.html#section-2.1



    You can install NASM in Ubuntu with the following command:



    apt-get install nasm


    Here is a basic Hello World in Linux assembly to whet your appetite:

    There is also FASM for Linux.



    format ELF executable

    segment readable executable

    start:
    mov eax, 4
    mov ebx, 1
    mov ecx, hello_msg
    mov edx, hello_size
    int 80h

    mov eax, 1
    mov ebx, 0
    int 80h

    segment readable writeable

    hello_msg db "Hello World!",10,0
    hello_size = $-hello_msg


    It comiles with



    fasm hello.asm hello

      My suggestion would be to get the book Programming From Ground Up:



      http://nongnu.askapache.com/pgubook/ProgrammingGroundUp-1-0-booksize.pdf



      That is a very good starting point for getting into assembler programming under linux and it explains a lot of the basics you need to understand to get started.

            • as31 is an assembler for 8051 code. Linux doesn't run on 8051 microcontrollers, so you can't link and then run anything you assemble with it right on your Linux machine (which is what this question was about).

            Hello, world!


            The code above is x86-64. If you want to make a position-independent executable (PIE), you'd need lea hello(%rip), %rdi, and call puts@plt.



            A non-PIE executable (position-dependent) can use 32-bit absolute addressing for static data, but a PIE should use RIP-relative LEA. (See also Difference between movq and movabsq in x86-64 neither movq nor movabsq are a good choice.)



            If you wanted to write 32-bit code, the calling convention is different, and RIP-relative addressing isn't available. (So you'd push $hello before the call, and pop the stack args after.)




            You can also compile C/C++ code directly to assembly if you're curious how something works:



            $ cat >hello.c <<EOF
            #include <stdio.h>
            int main(void)
            printf("Hello, world!n");
            return 0;

            EOF
            $ gcc -S hello.c -o hello.s

              The GNU assembler is probably already installed on your system. Try man as to see full usage information. You can use as to compile individual files and ld to link if you really, really want to.



              However, GCC makes a great front-end. It can assemble .s files for you. For example:



              $ cat >hello.s <<"EOF"
              .section .rodata # read-only static data
              .globl hello
              hello:
              .string "Hello, world!" # zero-terminated C string

              .text
              .global main
              main:
              push %rbp
              mov %rsp, %rbp # create a stack frame

              mov $hello, %edi # put the address of hello into RDI
              call puts # as the first arg for puts

              mov $0, %eax # return value = 0. Normally xor %eax,%eax
              leave # tear down the stack frame
              ret # pop the return address off the stack into RIP
              EOF
              $ gcc hello.s -no-pie -o hello

                    If you are using NASM, the command-line is just



                    nasm -felf32 -g -Fdwarf file.asm -o file.o


                    where 'file.asm' is your assembly file (code) and 'file.o' is an object file you can link with gcc -m32 or ld -melf_i386. (Assembling with nasm -felf64 will make a 64-bit object file, but the hello world example below uses 32-bit system calls, and won't work in a PIE executable.)

                            My suggestion would be to get the book Programming From Ground Up:



                            http://nongnu.askapache.com/pgubook/ProgrammingGroundUp-1-0-booksize.pdf



                            That is a very good starting point for getting into assembler programming under linux and it explains a lot of the basics you need to understand to get started.
