x86-64 Implementation of "Programming from the Ground Up"

This repository contains the x86-64 implementation of the code from Jonathan Bartlett’s "Programming from the Ground Up" (2003).

Original source code is written for x86. I have rewritten it for x86-64, GNU/Linux, following System V ABI calling convention. Files are named as {ch}-{name}[-64].s, where {ch} is the chapter number, {name} is the program name and [-64] suffix is added for 64-bit binaries. The lack of this suffix means the source is written for 32-bit mode.

Make files for building and testing are included.

Build

Build tools should support both 32-bit and 64-bit binaries.

For Debian systems dependencies can be installed with the following command:

$ sudo apt install build-essential gcc-multilib

Then you can build the repository with:

$ make

In order to enable debug symbols, modify the DEBUG_ARGS variable in Makefile.

Test

Programs may be tested with the following command:

$ make test-{name}[-64]
