Strcpy Assembly

[whiteflags]

"Hello World" requires at least 13 bytes (that's counting from one), because of the terminating zero. The zero goes into the twelfth subscript.

but "Hello World" is 11 characters, +1 for the terminating zero. So 12bytes? counting from 1
so in assembly it doesn't start from 0....
I changed it to 13 bytes but i still get a seg fault
I believe it is this line

movb %cl, (%edi)

but I don't know why

I only count 12 bytes.

I think you get the crash because you are attempting to write to the .text section. You should declare your copyString in the .data section instead. It's been a long time since I've done any assembly though, so I could be wrong.

oh ja.
gut idee.
Will try it out now! Danke!
