Subject: Virtual Address Space
Date: Fri, 30 Sep 2016 19:09:13 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <93c5e2c146e226d7f6a5e9bd613c9f0b@mailoo.org> (raw)

Hi, 

I COMPILE MAIN.S and it generates MAIN.O. With objdump I can see: 

0000000000000000 <_start>: 
   0: b8 01 00 00 00        mov    $0x1,%eax 
   5: bb 00 00 00 00        mov    $0x0,%ebx 
   a: cd 80                         int    $0x80 

After LINK MAIN.O it generates MAIN. With objdump I now can see: 

0000000000400078 <_start>: 
  400078: b8 01 00 00 00        mov    $0x1,%eax 
  40007d: bb 00 00 00 00        mov    $0x0,%ebx 
  400082: cd 80                         int    $0x80 

So, linker generates virtual address, doesn't it? But why it starts at
400078 and not in other any location? Is there any logic here? A virtual
address can start at 0? 

Regards.
