NASM/Yasm 在评论以反斜杠结尾后删除 CALL

NASM/Yasm drops CALL after comment ending with backslash

我目前正在尝试构建自己的引导加载程序并发现了一些奇怪的东西。

当下面的代码用 NASM 或 Yasm 汇编时没有标记的 NOP 命令,二进制文件中缺少以下 CALL。包含 NOP 后,CALL 已正确组装,但二进制文件中不存在操作码 0x90 (NOP)(由于 NOP 的性质,稍后可以理解)。

to_hex_ascii:
        add al, '0'
        cmp al, 0x3a
        jl .end
;           add al, 0x07
            add al, 0x27
    .end:
        ret

print_word_hex:
        push bp
        mov bp, sp

        mov dx, [bp + 4]
        push dx
        mov al, dh
        push ax             ;\
        nop                 ; | <- NOP in question
        call print_lsb_hex  ; print_lsb_hex(ax);
        add sp, 2           ;/
        pop dx
        jmp print_lsb_hex.continue
print_lsb_hex:
        push bp
        mov bp, sp

        mov dl, [bp + 4]
    .continue:
        mov ah, 0x0e
        ; 0xf0
        mov al, dl
        and al, 0xf0
        shr al, 4
        call to_hex_ascii
        int 0x10  ; BIOS print call
        ; 0x0f
        mov al, dl
        and al, 0x0f
        call to_hex_ascii
        int 0x10  ; BIOS print call

        pop bp
        ret

The backslash character, '\', as the last thing on a line, is Nasm's "line continuation character". By putting it in a comment, the comment is continued to the next line - commenting out the nop or call. (it is not the nature of nop to just disappear like that!). Lose it, or put something after it.

来自 NASM 手册,3.1 Layout of a NASM Source Line:

NASM uses backslash (\) as the line continuation character; if a line ends with backslash, the next line is considered to be a part of the backslash-ended line.
