Personally,
echo Hello World!
Oh you fancy PC people and your fancy syscall instruction.
I still don't know why I could remember jsr $ab1e. I didn't even write that much assembly.
Or, you could just go the whole hog. Create your own simple CPU emulator, design a basic 8bitesque CPU, give it an output port that is the console, and load up some basic ASM to cycle through Hello World to the console port.
echo "Hello world"
This is different from the other two echos here, this is Nim not Bash.
Definitely left. Right one won't be optimized. (And there are so many some mistakes in your inline asm...)
What mistakes?
Mostly the missing listing of clobbered registers. Other than that it's mostly just that you're doing useless things, like manually putting the stuff into the registers instead of letting the compiler do it, and the useless push and pop. And the loop is obviously not needed and would hurt performance if you do every write like that.
asm!(
"syscall",
in("rax") 1,
in("rdi") 1,
in("rsi") text_ptr,
in("rdx") text_size,
)
("so many" was inappropriate, sorry.)
I am hopeless at getting the text_ptr simpler than i64::from_str_radix(&format!("{:p}", my_string)[2..], 16).unwrap(); How can i get it the normal way?
Just use str::as_ptr().
Here's an example (disclaimer: I haven't used inline asm in rust before, expect issues): https://godbolt.org/z/sczYGe96f

Why do you call write() for every char? You can always just pass a pointer with its length.
edit: reddit image linking is broken?
Well, the GNU version does more and is more documented. The Plan9 code is frankly shitC, even for 1980z
But this monstrosity is something else
reddit image linking is broken?
Well you didn't link to a reddit image, you linked to Google image search result page which is not an image.
I did that because the image didn't show in reddt.

note: lemmy's "smart quotes" vs its input sanitization required me to code-format the second half of that line (and not the first half) to make it copy+paste runnable.
I thought the whole point of rust macros was to abstract away the scary asm at zero cost!
