Re: [Nasm-devel] Fwd: NASM no stack error

[Alexei A. F. <ale...@ma...>]

I use the following with NASM and TLINK and it works just fine (checked in
the debugger):
------8<------
GLOBAL  __terminate, _abort
EXTERN  _main

SEGMENT _TEXT PUBLIC CLASS=CODE USE16
..start:
        mov     ax, _DATA
        mov     ds, ax
        mov     es, ax
        call    _main

__terminate:
_abort:
        mov     ax, 4c00h
        int     21h

SEGMENT _DATA PUBLIC CLASS=DATA

SEGMENT _BSS  PUBLIC CLASS=DATA

SEGMENT _STACK STACK CLASS=STACK
        resb    128
------8<------
The stack pointer gets properly initialized by DOS from the info of the EXE
file header.

AFAIR, segment name and class (_STACK and CLASS=STACK) don't matter. What
matters is the STACK keyword between these two.
