I have been working on an assembly language project for a class and though I have finally been able to work through all problems in this code ( I believe ), I now can't seem to get the Register contents to display.
Here is my code...
include C:\Irvine\Irvine32.inc
.data
;Variables are listed in following order VAR DATATYPE DIGITS[RADIX] with
comments showing binary version of listed digits
left DWORD 321 ;101000001b
right DWORD 4247 ;1000010010111b
total DWORD ? ;uninitialized
diff DWORD ? ;uninitialized
;Define a string called message containing HELLO WORLD!
message BYTE '"Hello world!"'
;Calculate length of Array and move to var ArrayLength
Array WORD 1,2,4,8,16,32,64 ;Array
ArrayLength = ($ - Array) / 2
.code
main PROC
;Move left and right to respective registers
MOV eax,left
MOV ebx,right
;Add left var and right var and store in new var called total and move to
ecx
MOV total,eax
ADD total,ebx
MOV ecx,total
;Subtract left var and right var and store in new var called diff and move
to edx
MOV diff,eax
SUB diff,ebx
MOV edx,diff
;Move Array to esi
MOV esi,ArrayLength
call DumpRegs
exit
main ENDP
END main
When I debug I get no error messages but the IDE does not display the registers or its contents which I need.
I searched everywhere to try and see what might be the problem and got some answers and was able to find some regarding opening the register window in VS on this website...
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/62680774.aspx
But I tried to find this window in my IDE even after enabling address-level debugging but to no avail. I don't know if it is a problem with how I installed or is there no register window in VS2017 ... any help would be very welcome
For the record I am using Visual Studio 2017
I have tried adding a wait after call DumpRegs
and even a breakpoint but that simply stalls the run and doesn't display the registers whatsoever..
What it looks like after I add a breakpoint
