I'm trying to sum a list of integers with sign on Assembly 32 but i have only got to sum integers without sign. Do you know some way to do it?
My program tries to sum integers and store in resultado
, whose size is 64 bits, so to be able to do that I use two registers of 32 bits(EAX and EDX), and I check when the sum produces carry.
After of all that, I join EAX and EDX on resultado.
# sum.s Sumar los elementos de una lista.
# llamando a función, pasando argumentos mediante registros
# retorna: código retorno 0, comprobar suma en %eax mediante gdb/ddd.
# as --32 -g sum.s -o sum.o
# ld -m elf_i386 sum.o -o sum
# DATA SECTION
.section .data
lista:
.int 4294967295, 4294967295, 4294967295, 4294967295
longlista:
.int (.-lista)/4
resultado:
.quad -1
.section .text
_start: .global _start
mov $lista, %ebx
mov longlista, %ecx
call suma
mov %eax, resultado
mov %edx, resultado+4
mov $1, %eax
mov $0, %ebx
int $0x80
suma:
push %esi
mov $0, %eax
mov $0, %edx
mov $0, %esi
bucle:
add (%ebx,%esi,4), %eax
jc .L1
bucle1:
inc %esi
cmp %esi,%ecx
jne bucle
pop %esi
ret
.L1:
inc %edx
jmp bucle1
This gives a 64-bit sum that treats the inputs as unsigned 32-bit, which isn't what I want.
Next code that uses 64-bit addition will give a correct sum for positive and negative numbers alike without any wraparound due to only using 32 bit registers.
The signed result can exceed the range [-2GB,+2GB-1].
suma:
push %esi
push %edi
xor %esi, %esi ;Clear %edi:%esi
xor %edi, %edi
sub $1, %ecx ;Start at last element in array
jl emptyArray
bucle:
mov (%ebx,%ecx,4), %eax ;From signed 32-bit to signed 64-bit
cdq
add %eax, %esi ;Add signed 64-bit numbers
adc %edx, %edi
dec %ecx
jge bucle
emptyArray:
mov %esi, %eax ;Move result from %edi:%esi to %edx:%eax
mov %edi, %edx
pop %edi
pop %esi
ret
The order in which the additions are made is unimportant, and so the code starts with the last element working towards the first one.
