Problem with strings

Posted: Fri Aug 31, 2012 4:31 pm

I am developing a pure 64 bit C++ Kernel under Windows using MinGW. I think that the problem is the linker script.

Code: Select all

OUTPUT_FORMAT("pe-x86-64") 
ENTRY("loader")
SECTIONS 
{ 
    . = 0x100000;
    .text :
    { 
        code = .; 
        *(.text) 
        text_end = .;
    }
    .rodata : 
    { 
        rodata = text_end; 
        *(.rodata)
        rodata_end  = .;      
    }    
    .rdata : 
    { 
        rdata = rodata_end; 
        *(.rodata)
        rdata_end  = .;      
    } 
    .data : 
    { 
        data = rdata_end; 
        *(.data) 
        data_end = .;
    } 
    .bss :  
    { 
        bss = data_end; 
        *(.bss) 
        bss__end = .;
    } 
    end = .; 
            /DISCARD/ :{
                *(.note*)
                *(.indent)
                *(.comment)
                *(.stab)
                *(.stabstr)
        }
}
My Make.bat is not perfect...

Code: Select all

I can´t do something like this:

void idt::init_idt()

	idt_ptr = (idt_ptr_t*)IDT_ADDRESS;
	*idt_entries = (idt_entry_t*)IDT_ADDRESS;
	
	clean_gates();
	screen::kprintf("Exceptions pointer: 0x%p\n", ::interrupts_exceptions);
	screen::kprintf("String: %s\n", ::interrupts_exceptions[0]); //<------------------------------------------------

	idt_set_gate(0, (QWORD)isr0, 0x08, 0x8E); //
}
I have read all the related articles in the wiki and forum... Thanks...

Besides the fact that a windows targeted toolchain is not the best idea in general, you have both duplicate and missing sections in your linker script (hint: *)

I haven´t duplicate sections in the linker script. I think that the problem can be:

Stage_2.asm

Code: Select all

...

[BITS 64]

long_mode:
	xor rax, rax
	xor rbx, rbx
	xor rcx, rcx
	xor rdx, rdx
	xor r8, r8
	xor r9, r9
	xor r10, r10
	xor r11, r11
	xor r12, r12
	xor r13, r13
	xor r14, r14
	xor r15, r15

cpp_kernel:
And then, I convert my PE-x86-64 to raw binary and copy /b Stage_2.bin+Kernel.bin Stage_2.bin.

Is this correct?

Yes, you are right, sorry, I was blind :oops:

Can anyone help me? Thanks for advance

Does GCC automatically change strings to be null-terminated? *hint*

Thanks for the answer. No, G++ don´t show any hints or warnings.

I have porting the Kernel source for building in GNU/Linux. This is my Makefile:

Code: Select all

CPP = g++
CPP_PARAMS = -I./Kernel/ -nostdlib -nostartfiles -nodefaultlibs -masm=intel -fstrength-reduce -fomit-frame-pointer -finline-functions -nostdinc -fno-builtin
OBJECTS = Stage_3.o kernel.o screen.o string.o io.o idt.o
FAT12MAKER = ./tools/fat12maker/fat12maker


all:
	nasm -fbin bootloader/Stage_1.asm -o Stage_1.bin
	nasm -fbin bootloader/Stage_2.asm -o Stage_2.o

	nasm -felf64 Kernel/Stage_3.asm -o Stage_3.o
	$(CPP) $(CPP_PARAMS) -c Kernel/kernel.cpp -o kernel.o
	$(CPP) $(CPP_PARAMS) -c Kernel/Drivers/screen.cpp -o screen.o
	$(CPP) $(CPP_PARAMS) -c Kernel/string.cpp -o string.o
	$(CPP) $(CPP_PARAMS) -c Kernel/io.cpp -o io.o
	$(CPP) $(CPP_PARAMS) -c Kernel/idt.cpp -o idt.o

	ld -nostdlib -nodefaultlibs -T linker-linux.ld $(OBJECTS) -o Kernel.o
	cat Stage_2.o Kernel.o > Stage_2.bin
	$(FAT12MAKER) -b Stage_1.bin -i Stage_2.bin -o Kernel.img
	bochs -f bochsconf-linux

clean:
	rm *.o
	rm *.bin
And the linker script:

Code: Select all

OUTPUT_FORMAT(binary)
ENTRY(loader)
SECTIONS 
{ 
    . = 0x100000;
    .text :
    { 
        code = .; 
        *(.text) 
        text_end = .;
    }
    .rodata : 
    { 
        rodata = text_end; 
        *(.rodata)
        rodata_end  = .;      
    }    
    .data : 
    { 
        data = rodata_end; 
        *(.data) 
        data_end = .;
    } 
    .bss :  
    { 
        bss = data_end; 
        *(.bss) 
        bss__end = .;
    } 
    end = .; 
}
But now I have a worse problem, because functions like this doesn't work fine!

Code: Select all

extern "C" void kmain(WORD Foo, WORD Foo2)
{
	screen::clear_screen();
	screen::hide_cursor();

	screen::kprintf("Hello!\n");

...
This is the console output of the Makefile:

All string literals in C are '\0' terminated.

I forgot to post the linker script, edited.

Yes, you are right, but under Windows these method works fine.

Now I can only print a string if I do something like this:

Code: Select all

extern "C" void kmain(WORD Foo, WORD Foo2)
{
	char saludo[] = "Hello!\n";
	screen::clear_screen();
	screen::hide_cursor();

	screen::kprintf(saludo);
But if I declare a const char * int_exceptions[] as global, it doesn't work :evil:

Sorry for disturb you with my errors :oops:
Thanks.

Check http://wiki.osdev.org/Beginner_Mistakes#Strings. In short, you need to include a *(.rdata) section in your linker script (probably in the .rodata section after *(.rodata)) if using MinGW however we seriously recommend using a cross compiler instead to avoid these issues.

Regards,
John.

I wasn't aware of that, good to know. Is that a C thing (ISO Spec?), or a GCC thing?

- Monk

P.S. I'm much more of a C++ guy than, C, so sorry for the confusion.

I believe it's a "you should probably know this" thing.

I included the section *(.rodata) after .rodata how you said me, but using MinGW I continue with the global strings problem. With GCC I can only print a string using local variables :evil:

I'm going crazy with the strings...

Can anyone help me? Thanks for advance
Everything that was posted was there for a reason.

Take the .o file with the string and run it through objdump for the headers, because that's what you should have done in the first place. You still have to in case you really want to understand what gcc does to strings.

After that, I'll be more obvious...
Combuster wrote:Besides the fact that a windows targeted toolchain is not the best idea in general, you have both duplicate and missing sections in your linker script (hint: *)
as in:
*(.rodata)
vs
*(.rodata*)

and of course the same goes for .rdata*


And since it was typed over wrong from the wiki that'll be a hint to more than one of you to be a bit more careful, it's a very important skill in this particular business :wink:
