Building 16 bit os - character array not working
- by brainbarshan
Hi. I am building a 16 bit operating system. But character array does not seem to work.
Here is my example kernel code:
asm(".code16gcc\n");
void putchar(char);
int main()
{
char *str = "hello";
putchar('A');
if(str[0]== 'h')
putchar('h');
return 0;
}
void putchar(char val)
{
asm("movb %0, %%al\n"
"movb $0x0E, %%ah\n"
"int $0x10\n"
:
:"m"(val)
) ;
}
It prints:
A
that means putchar function is working properly but
if(str[0]== 'h')
putchar('h');
is not working.
I am compiling it by:
gcc -fno-toplevel-reorder -nostdinc -fno-builtin -I./include -c -o ./bin/kernel.o ./source/kernel.c
ld -Ttext=0x9000 -o ./bin/kernel.bin ./bin/kernel.o -e 0x0
What should I do?
