Re: Calling libraries from assembler.

A misunderstanding Frank!
I know the posting is about the use of Linux.
And an ASM program written as a main can call named sub-programs,
whether service or otherwise.

But this same main program can be used with Windows as long as what
its calls are valid for a Windows environment.

And here is the point.
When you write a 32-bit algorithm in ASM for an Intel chip, the main
code is valid whether for Windows or Linux, EXCEPT the calls to
services.

And I write for DOS and Windoss and change the subprogram library I
link with to match.
But I have also to match the calling convention or use a common one.
And FOrytran and C, as example, use different stack conventions.

In Linux the usage is to push parameters to the stack and call a
subprogram service, and on return, to clear the stack space used.
Microsoft's original preffered scheme was to have the called
subprogram clear the stackk on return.
