Apple Silicon calling printf
What is the proper way to pass arguments to printf with multiple variables using ARM64 Apple Silicon? Example: fOutputStr: .asciz "Element[%d] = %d\n" // formated output string for an output of: Element[4] = 9 This code (see below) works on Raspberry Pi 5, on my Mac Studio, I am getting this output, Element[9] = 1871655168 What do I need to do to use printf from an assembly language call with multiple variables? I am using the following code. ` .align 2 // memory alignment model for 64-bit ARMc #if defined(APPLE) .global _main // Provide program starting address to linker Mac OS _main: #else .global main // Raspian and Linux main: #endif // stack frame work setup START stp x29, x30, [sp, -16]! str x20, [sp, -16]! mov x29, sp // stack frame work setup END // setup printf call #if defined(APPLE) adrp x0, fOutputStr@PAGE add x0, x0, fOutputStr@PAGEOFF #else ldr x0, =fOutputStr #endif mov w1, #4 mov w2, #9 print_brk: #if defined(APPLE) stp X0, X1, [SP, #-16]! stp X2, X3, [SP, #-16]! bl _printf ldp X2, X3, [SP], #16 ldp X0, X1, [SP], #16 #else bl printf #endif done: // closing stack frame work ldr x20, [sp],16 ldp x29, x30, [sp],16 // exit mov w0, wzr ret .data .align 4 // intArrayPtr: .word 3,7,5,2,4,8 // word, each value is offset by 4 fOutputStr: .asciz "Element[%d] = %d\n" // formated output string
