Program is running normally do the job but is killed at the end and I get this error message

a very simple example:

---asm.s
global OpenFile

section .text

OpenFile:
push ebp
mov ebp,esp

mov eax,5
mov ebx,[ebp+8]
mov ecx,0
int 80h

leave
ret

--------main.c
extern int OpenFile(const char *);


int main(int argc,char *argv[]){
int result = 0;
if(argc > 1)
result = OpenFile(argv[1]);

printf("%d\n",result);
return 1;
}

----makefile
try : main.o asm.o
gcc -o try main.o asm.o
main.o : main.c
gcc -c main.c
asm.o : asm.s
nasm -f elf asm.s
 
Presumably, your OS is not DOS.

What part crashed?

Incidentally, the ENTER and LEAVE instructions are considered obsolete...

I've found my problem, its that I dont push-pop the registers that I'm modifying in the function...
 
No, that's not it. LEAVE pops off ebp from the stack. Better yet, forget about using LEAVE and ENTER, they're considered obsolete and downright dangerous. "Information has a tendency to be free. Which means someone will always tell you something you don't want to know."
