Hi All,
I have written one sample assmebly and c code which reads command line args
and displays .
find the source files as attachments.
expected output is ,
$ ./a.out
Inside __linker_init argc = 1
Inside __linker_init argv[0] = ./a.out
Segmentation fault [Seg fault Never mind]
if i statically link startx86.S & linker.c on x86 AND statrt_ppc.S &
linker.c on PS3,i'll get SEGV fault on both system. But on PS3, inside
'_start' function if i verify the contents of 'r1[stack pointer]' and '(Char
*) *(r1 + 4)' in GDB i get '1' and '~/a.out' respectively .But once 'r1'
moved to r3[holds the 1st arg of the function] & passed as argument to
__linker_init ,inside the function '*elfdata' points '1' but (char *)
*(elfdata + 1) points to some junk string. some thing like this
"|c\033x|i\003�N\200\004 \224!��|\b\002�\220\001".
find the GDB log file of PS3.
if i link them without statically,i'll get the correct output on x86 .i.e
$ ./a.out
Inside __linker_init argc = 1
Inside __linker_init argv[0] = ./a.out
Segmentation fault [Seg fault Never mind]
but on ps3 i get this,
$ ./a.out
Inside __linker_init argc = 0
Inside __linker_init argv[0] = |c|i�N� �!����
Segmentation fault
Why am i getting strange characters instead of './a.out' and y 'argc' having
'zero' ?
Why is this two different outputs for static linking and dynamic linking ?
