Resolving STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION in C+ + and Assembly Programs on Cygwin

When executing a C+ + program that incorporates Assembly code, encountering the STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION error can be frustrating. This error typically indicates that the program tried to access an invalid memory area. In this post, we will break down the steps to troubleshoot this issue effectively, particularly for a program developed with Eclipse and executed on Cygwin.

The Problem

You have a simple C+ + program that calls an Assembly function. The setup includes:

Two source files: function.asm (Assembly) and main.cpp (C+ + ).

The C+ + code is responsible for summing an array of integers by calling the external Assembly function.

While the program compiles without errors, running it results in the STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION with an accompanying stack trace, which suggests a problem during execution.

The Solution

Here’s how to resolve the issue effectively and get your program running:

1. Compile the Assembly Code Properly

To solve the access violation error, the first step is to ensure that the Assembly code is compiled correctly. You can achieve this by using the Cygwin command line instead of relying solely on Eclipse's build process.

Use the following commands in the terminal:

This compilation method explicitly directs the assembler to create object files from your Assembly code, which can then be linked with your C+ + code.

2. Ensure Proper Assembly Syntax

Make sure that your Assembly is written using the correct syntax. The example provided uses AT&T syntax, which is necessary for compatibility with GCC and the Cygwin environment. Here’s a quick breakdown of its structure:

3. Address Possible Formatting Issues

There may be hidden formatting issues that cause compilation errors or runtime failures. For example:

Carriage Return Issue: Ensure that there is a carriage return at the end of your function.asm file. Some compilers may be sensitive to this, which could lead to unexpected results.

4. Configure Eclipse Settings

To fully integrate this corrected process with Eclipse:

Set up custom commands for building your project. You can enter the commands you used on the terminal directly into the build settings in Eclipse to streamline future runs.

Conclusion

After implementing the steps outlined above, you should be able to compile and run your mixed C+ + and Assembly project without encountering the STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION error. If you continue to have issues, consider examining your stack trace for additional diagnostic information that might point to specific problems in your code or environment.
