For all the gory details on these instructions and the architecture of the ARM processor, check out my book. This is changed via a command line argument to the linker.Д«elow is the simple Assembly Language program to print out вЂњHello WorldвЂќ in a terminal window.

In MacOS the default entry point is _main whereas in Linux it is _start.

This sample Hello World program uses software interrupts to make the system calls rather than the API in the System library and so shouldnвЂ™t need to link to it.

In MacOS you need to link in the System library even if you donвЂ™t make a system call from it or you get a linker error.

In MacOS the program must start on a 64-bit boundary, hence the listing has an вЂњ.align 2вЂќ directive near top.

The paths to the libs and includes are rather complicated and you need a tool to find them. with the option of installing lots for versions.

When you install XCode, it installs SDKs for MacOS, iOS, iPadOS, iWatchOS, etc. Linux installs the various libraries and includes files under /usr/lib and /usr/include, so they are easy to find and use.When calling a Linux service the function number goes in X16 rather than X8.

In the 32-bit world they were the same, but now they are all different.

The Unix API calls are nearly the same, the difference is that Linux redid the function numbers when they went to 64-bit, but MacOS kept the function numbers the same.

You could use ADR in Linux and if you do this it will work in both.

The MacOS linker/loader doesnвЂ™t like doing relocations, so you need to use the ADR rather than LDR instruction to load addresses.

You can use LLVM on Linux and GCC should be available for Apple M1 shortly. This really just affects the command line arguments in the makefile for the purposes of this article.

MacOS uses LLVM by default whereas Linux uses GNU GCC.

However there are a few differences of note: His version of the source code for my book, but modified for Apple M1 is available here:Д«oth MacOS and Linux are based on Unix and are more similar than different. He dealt with all the differences between Linux and MacOS/iOS as well. Alex vonBelow took all of these and modified them to work with the LLVM tool chain and to work within AppleвЂ™s development environment. The command line utilities are compiled for Linux using the GNU tool set.

My book вЂњ Programming with 64-Bit ARM Assembly LanguageвЂќ contains lots of sample self contained Assembly Language programs and a number of iOS and Android samples.

This week, weвЂ™ll cover how to compile and run a simple command line ARM Assembly Language Hello World program. Last week, we talked about using a new Apple M1 based Macintosh as a development workstation and how installing AppleвЂ™s development system XCode also installed a large number of open source development tools including LLVM and make.
