Segueisto instruções Eu consegui produzir apenas 528 bytes em tamanho a.out (quando o gcc main.c me deu 8539 bytes de arquivo grande inicialmente).

main.c foi:

int main(int argc, char** argv) {

    return 42;
}

mas eu construí um.out deste arquivo de montagem em vez disso:

main.s:

; tiny.asm
  BITS 64
  GLOBAL _start
  SECTION .text
  _start:
                mov     eax, 1
                mov     ebx, 42  
                int     0x80

com:

me@comp# nasm -f elf64 tiny.s
me@comp# gcc -Wall -s -nostartfiles -nostdlib tiny.o
me@comp# ./a.out ; echo $?
42
me@comp# wc -c a.out
528 a.out

porque eu preciso do código de máquina que eu faço:

objdump -d a.out

a.out:     file format elf64-x86-64


Disassembly of section .text:

00000000004000e0 <.text>:
  4000e0:   b8 01 00 00 00          mov    $0x1,%eax
  4000e5:   bb 2a 00 00 00          mov    $0x2a,%ebx
  4000ea:   cd 80                   int    $0x80

># objdump -hrt a.out

a.out:     file format elf64-x86-64

Sections:

arquivo está em convenção little endian:

me@comp# readelf -a a.out

agora eu quero executar isso assim:

#include <unistd.h>
 // which version is (more) correct?
 // this might be related to endiannes (???)
char code[] = "\x01\xb8\x00\x00\xbb\x00\x00\x2a\x00\x00\x80\xcd\x00";
char code_v1[] = "\xb8\x01\x00\x00\x00\xbb\x2a\x00\x00\x00\xcd\x80\x00";

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
/*creating a function pointer*/
int (*func)();
func = (int (*)()) code;
(int)(*func)();

return 0;
}

no entanto eu recebo falha de segmentação.Minha pergunta é: esta seção do texto

  4000e0:   b8 01 00 00 00          mov    $0x1,%eax
  4000e5:   bb 2a 00 00 00          mov    $0x2a,%ebx
  4000ea:   cd 80                   int    $0x80

(este código de máquina) tudo o que eu realmente preciso? O que eu faço de errado (endiannes ??), talvez eu só precise chamar isso de maneira diferente desde SIGSEGV?
