test/bintest.asm

   1 ; test source file for assembling to binary files
   2 ; build with:
   3 ;    nasm -f bin -o bintest.com bintest.asm
   4
   5 ; When run (as a DOS .COM file), this program should print
   6 ;    hello, world
   7 ; on two successive lines, then exit cleanly.

   9 ; This file should test the following:
  10 ; [1] Define a text-section symbol
  11 ; [2] Define a data-section symbol
  12 ; [3] Define a BSS-section symbol
  13 ; [4] Define a NASM local label
  14 ; [5] Reference a NASM local label
  15 ; [6] Reference a text-section symbol in the text section
  16 ; [7] Reference a data-section symbol in the text section
  17 ; [8] Reference a BSS-section symbol in the text section
  18 ; [9] Reference a text-section symbol in the data section
  19 ; [10] Reference a data-section symbol in the data section
