Hi,
i am writing a test code using asm keyword.
int fun(int in)
{
int b=2;
asm("movl $100, %0;"
"test %1, %1;"
"cmovl %1, %0;"
: "=r" (b)
: "r" (in)
);
return b;
}
int main()
{
int a=8;
int b;
b = fun(-1);
printf("%d %d\n",a,b);
}
the output of above code should be "8 -1", ie the value of "b" in main after
calling "fun" should be "-1". instead the output is "8 100"
the assemble output is
fun:
pushl %ebp
movl %esp, %ebp
subl $16, %esp
movl $2, -4(%ebp)
movl 8(%ebp), %eax
#APP
# 6 "asm.c" 1
movl $100, %eax;test %eax, %eax;cmovl %eax, %eax;
# 0 "" 2
#NO_APP
movl %eax, -4(%ebp)
movl -4(%ebp), %eax
leave
ret
my main motto of writing this code was to test the "cvmol" instruction.
so basically whenever the test instruction will show that the result is less
than 0, the "cmov" instruction should move the data
i used the mov instruction so that initially 100 gets moved into variable
"b" and if the test ins indicate the input value is -ve, cmov instruction
should move the input value to the variable "b"
just check the assembly code that gcc is generating, gcc is using eax for
both %0 and %1
due to which the code is giving wrong result
