Hello!

My problem is that i dont know how to call an assembler function from a C++ program. I wonder i someone can see what i have done wrong in the code below?
It is intel assembler on Linux ubuntu platform and i use the g++ compiler.

I get this error message when i link the c objectfile and the assembler file:

g++ function.s function_call.o -o function_call

function_call.o: In function `main':
function_call.cpp:(.text+0x84): undefined reference to `my_function()'


This is my code


Code:
C++ code:

#include<iostream>

extern void my_function();

int main()
{
	my_function();
}


Assembler code:

	.file	"function.s"

	.data
msg:    .string "Hello\n"
	len = . - msg - 1 
	
	.text
	.align 2

.globl _my_function
	.type	_my_function, @function

_my_function:
	pushl   $len
	pushl   $msg
	pushl   $1
	call    write
	addl    $12, %esp    
	pushl   $0
	call    exit
	ret

.LFE2:
	.size	main, .-main
	.size	_my_function, .-_my_function
.globl __gxx_personality_v0
	.ident	"GCC: (GNU) 4.1.3 20070929 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.1.2-16ubuntu2)"
	.section	.note.GNU-stack,"",@progbits
 
Perhaps you also need to disable C++ name mangling.

[tt]extern "C" void my_function();[/tt]

You can also use this command,
[tt]nm function_call.o[/tt]
to find out the actual name of the symbols being generated.

If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
 
Thanks for the hint.
Unfortunatly i still get the same error message.
