Re: [Pgubook-readers] movl _start, %eax

[Shuaib]

Well, things are making a little sense, but not
completely. If I place the "movl _start, %eax" right
after a few lines after _start in maximum.s, I do get
"0xbf" like harold mentioned. This is the correct
response. Harold, could yout put this instruction in
other location in the code (you might want to change
eax to edx or something that is not used) to see if
you are getting other values in %eax?

I started moving this line and after I just moved it
past  the line "incl %edi", I started getting the 0xcc
again. I repeated this experiment by moving it around
and I would get 0xcc but it was never consistant. But
I always got the 0xbf if I placed the movl _start,
%eax command right after _start. It is obvious that
the _start location is getting changed. I can
understand this is this was the data section, but why
is the text section getting changed? Anyone?
