I have a simple program that adds 1+1 until it reaches a million, and then it prints "Done!" to the console. But when it runs, it does nothing. Here is the code:
.386
.model flat, stdcall
option casemap :none
include \masm32\include\windows.inc
include \masm32\include\kernel32.inc
include \masm32\include\masm32.inc
includelib \masm32\lib\kernel32.lib
includelib \masm32\lib\masm32.lib
.data
main dd 0
msg db "Done!", 0
.code
start:
_loop: mov eax, 1
mov main, eax
cmp main, 1000000
jz _next
jmp _loop
_next: invoke StdOut, addr msg
invoke ExitProcess, 0
end start
It doesn't do anything when I run it. I don't see why. I currently run it through cmd, by clicking and dragging it to the prompt and pressing enter. And also, is MASM32 the easiest assembler to learn, or are there better and easier ones out there? If so, could someone post the ones that are better? Thanks. I just need somewhere to start learning x86 assembly.
Thanks in advance,

Your program doesn't increment anything. You probably want an add instruction in there somewhere.
