Assembly Language Flow Control Loop while condition is true in Intel syntax assembly
Example
section .data
msg db 'Hello, world!', 0xA
len equ $ - msg
section .text
global _main
_main:
mov rax, 0 ; This will be the current number
mov rcx, 10 ; This will be the last number
_loop:
cmp rax, rcx
jl .loopbody ; Jump to .loopbody if rax < rcx
jge _exit ; Jump to _exit if rax ≥ rcx
.loopbody:
push rax ; Store the rax value for later use
mov rax, 0x2000004 ; 4 for Linux
mov rdi, 1 ; STDOUT
mov rsi, msg
mov rdx, len
syscall
pop rax ; Take it back to rax
inc rax ; Add 1 to rax. This is required since the loop must have an ending.
jmp _loop ; Back to loop
_exit:
ret ; Return
This will execute .loopbody as long as rax < rcx.
