LAB-3 Assembling, Linking and Running

The document discusses assembling, linking, and running programs in MASM and NASM assemblers. It explains the assemble-link-execute cycle and describes listing and map files. It also provides examples of programs written in MASM and NASM that add numbers, demonstrating how to declare variables, perform arithmetic operations, and return control to DOS.

Running
Assembling, Linking, and Running Programs

 Assemble-Link-Execute Cycle
 Listing File
 Map File
Assemble-Link Execute Cycle
 The following diagram describes the steps from creating a
source program through executing the compiled program.
 If the source code is modified, Steps 2 through 4 must be
repeated.
Assemble in MASM
 Executes ML.EXE (the Microsoft Assembler) to
assemble your programs
 Linkxxx.exe(Microsoft Linker)
 Command-Line syntax:
Ml progName.asm ENTER
(progName includes the .asm extension and is written in
notepad usually)

(use make16.bat to assemble and link Real-mode programs)


Listing File
 Use it to see how your program is compiled
 Contains
 source code
 addresses
 object code (machine language)
 segment names
 symbols (variables, procedures, and constants)
Map File
 Information about each program segment:
 starting address
 ending address
 size
 segment type
Assemble in NASM
 You have to give the following command to
assemble with NASM:
 nasm progName.asm –o progName.com –l
progName.lst
 NASM is used to create small programs (.COM
files that are also executables like .EXE files)
 Once we get .com file, we can directly run it or
debug it two ways
 Using Debug progName.com

 Using AFD progName.com
