[@ramongonzalezfernandez8904]

Section is for compiling to a .o which you then manually link (so it needs the special labels), segment is for compiling straight to an ELF

[@DanCojocaru2000]

12:37 Suggestion: a "no return" return type, so that if you call exit, Porth will know that terminates the program and won't check what the function is returning

[@KitsuneAlex]

That's quite a neat idea, maybe add a noret keyword or something.

[@CyborusYT]

Like Rust's ! type?

[@KitsuneAlex]

@@CyborusYT In the language i am currently designing ! is used for null-assertion, so that wouldn't work for my case, idk how single-char ops fit into porth either.

[@CyborusYT]

@@KitsuneAlex not that it necessarily has to be represented by !, just some kind of uninhabited type

[@KitsuneAlex]

@@CyborusYT fair enough.

[@FreezeBlaze]

I learned more assembly from this than I did in my assembly course in uni

[@phillipvance864]

In nasm you can use back ticks to do C style escape codes so: `Hello World ` Will work and that also works for escaping the null terminator \0. Although I guess it wont matter if you replace nasm. In fasm I think to get your SYS_exit macro just assign it like Python: SYS_exit = 60 I think that's how it works in fasm but not 100% sure Regards! I actually learned asm because of your porth videos, so thank you very much :)

[@Pi7on]

I find the whole process fascinating. Thank you for the amazing stream!

[@kernelk1931]

wow, you're back for some Porth action!

[@etopowertwon]

It's somewhat funny to see "I'm here to break all the convention" followed by a rant that nasm doesn't support the standard conventions of " ". Nasm support escaping, it just breaks the convention by requiring different quotes.

[@bigmistake5565]

I would love to have a little overview of ur off-screen type-checking implementation in Porth btw. It's great that you don't feel the need to stream everything to keep everything moving forward, but in this case I am quite curious to the challenges you had during implementation!

[@chromosundrift]

yeah I have a feeling it was a lot of work

[@Chaosman88]

smooth beatboxing there! 42:48

[@nonnymoose7005]

You'll probably want to use gas because it supports linking (that's where the concept of sections comes in). It has an intel assembly directive as well.

[@drdefecation]

nasm can also output linkable ELF

[@arti5musicc]

At 18:00, it does go into the .data section and segfaults because of that (.data is not executable)

[@mathalphabet5645]

42:50 causally performs awesome beatbox

[@alexnik1181]

7:32 The way he said "i did not" came from a movie The Room. I recommend watching it!

[@wirtos_new]

constant string is usually placed in .text so it'll segfault when you try to write something there, for example in C "hello world" is of const char array type and segfaults if you write to it

[@manjoos4906]

strings constants are stored in .rodata (read only data). the reason it seg faults is due to an access violation since this section is loaded with nowrite permissions.

[@etopowertwon]

In linux constant data are placed into .rodata section (duh)

[@styleisaweapon]

nasm isnt designed to scale like you are using it - you want an assembler that was designed to be a back end for compilers to begin with, such as gnu's gas or microsoft's masm - basically where cross-compiling was considered important you will also find a backend assembler being used that scales fairly well

[@ahmadhadwan]

22:20, in order to use escaped characters in nasm, you have to write the string in `backquotes??`

[@mdev790]

Yasm is also another alternative compatibilre with Nasm, Fasm and Gas syntaxes Also gas supports intel syntax

[@SketchyAtBest]

You know who could build a faster assembler? Terry fuckin Davis. That devine intellect would have it done in no time.

[@danespen5772]

To improve your workflow, make your Makefile default target running the test.

[@wChris_]

you should know that the reserved bytes should be handles as unknown/uninitialized, basically the kernel can decide how it will initialize the memory for you, which just happens to be zero! So you should make sure to initialize it to zero yourself or wake up some day wondering why your compiler isnt working anymore!

[@xelaxander]

Yes!! It's Porth again!!

[@SidTheGreat420]

Hey when are you planning to add switch-case statements?

[@hellNo116]

you press space twice for intonation. I can't remember seen anyone else doing that. I have heard only legends.

[@q_rsqrt5140]

NASM supports escape characters with `` string literals

[@rhbvkleef]

Do you have any plans on dirtying your hands on generating some LLVIM IR?

[@ahmadhadwan]

I was thinking about writing an elf assembler in C, would you like to make an open source project, where we both contribute?

[@ahmadhadwan]

@@SimGunther i did figure out how to generate an elf object, the elf implementation is available on wikipedia, and in elf.h

I think he said 15 years. But he seems to code multiple hours every day and he doesn't seem to believe in magic programs that only wizards can write. He is always willing to try to code something himself. "Talent" often implies someone is born with magic ability but I give credit to the hard work Tsoding has put in to gain this skill level.
