Passing array variable address as Input Constraint to Inline Assembly block

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I'm trying to find out the right way to pass an array variable as address into an Inline Assembly block as Input Constraint.

Test Program:
#include <stdio.h>

int array[3] = {111, 222, 333};

int main(void)
{
   int out = 0;
   asm(
       ".intel_syntax noprefix           \n\t"
       "lea         eax, %[array]        \n\t"
       "mov         eax,[eax]            \n\t"
       "inc         eax                  \n\t"
       ".intel_syntax prefix             \n\t"
     : "=a" (out)
     :   [array]  "m"  (*array)
   );

   printf("out = %i\n", out);

   return 0;
}


Compiling on i386 machine, it worked:
COMMAND LINE:
gcc -fPIC -DPIC -masm=intel prog_i386 prog_i386.c

ASSEMBLY:
   mov %eax, DWORD PTR array@GOT[%ebx]
#APP
   .intel_syntax noprefix
   lea         eax, DWORD PTR [%eax]


Compiling on x86_64 machine, it didn't work:
COMMAND LINE:
gcc -fPIC -DPIC  -masm=intel -o prog_x86_64 prog_x86_64.c


ERROR:
/tmp/cc7z5OHz.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/cc7z5OHz.s:27: Error: invalid operand for 'mov' ('(' unexpected)
/tmp/cc7z5OHz.s:38: Error: invalid operand for 'lea' ('(' unexpected)

ASSEMBLY:
   mov %rax, QWORD PTR array@GOTPCREL(%rip)
#APP
   .intel_syntax noprefix
   lea         rax, DWORD PTR [%rax]


I am hoping for a solution that is good for both compiling with -fPIC or not, if possible.

What is the right way to pass an array variable into Inline Assembly?

http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gccint/Simple-Constraints.html#Simple-Constraints
Is there any other constraint that I should be using instead?

Thanks for your advice!
