Short Jump Error

[peterbob]

Hey guys, I am new to assembly and I am having a problem compling the code.

section .text
global _start

_start:

xor eax,eax
push eax
push dword 0x71242776
push dword 0x76747977
push esp
pop esi
mov edi,esi
mov edx,edi
cld
mov ecx,0x80
mov ebx,0x41
xor eax,eax
push eax
lodsb
xor eax,eax
stosb
loop 0xb7
push esp
pop esi
mov eax,4            
mov ebx, 1            
int 80h            

_exit:
mov eax,1
mov ebx,0
int 80h

It errors out after it tries to compile

yo.asm:22: error: short relative jump outside segment
yo.asm:22: error: short jump is out of range

Not sure what the problem is. I think its the loop but for some reason when I take it out it compiles but does not display the varible.

Thanks for the help

You will never compile it! You Assemble and Link.

Your stack is a MESS! Your pushes are not paired with pops. For every push you should have a pop or adjust esp manually.

where is this address > 0xb7? Why use a hardcoded address? use a label.

It won't print anything really. for the sys_write system call, ecx is a pointer to the string to write to the terminal NOT a character.

What does it do anyways?

Sorry for the compile, yes, assemble and link!!! I am new to assembly, so I apologize for my ignorance. It looks as if the gas version I was using has/had a bug in it, atleast this is what I can tell from googling. So I updated and it assembled fine.
I thought maybe it was better since I am learning with ATT syntax

.data
x:
    .long   0

    .string "%d\n\0"

break:

    xor %eax, %eax  
    ret


exit:

when I go to link it, It gives me the error

(.text+0xa5): relocation truncated to fit: R_386_PC8 against `UND'

It looks like it doesnt like the loop 0xb7, so I changed it. Which is what you pointed out. However, when I remove it, or use a label, it (as you pointed out) does not print anything. I am trying to push a 128 bit string on the stack, decrypt and then display it in terminal.

Now it looks as if, ld/gcc is not liking what I am doing either.
