Theintdata type is still 32-bit in x64^24 , so that is why 32-bit register parts are used here.


We also seeJMP printfinstead ofRETin thedump()method, thathackwe already saw earlier:1.15.1
on page 154.


GCC: x86


It is almost the same story in GCC 4.4.1, with a few exceptions.


Listing 3.86: GCC 4.4.1
public main
main proc near


var_20 = dword ptr -20h
var_1C = dword ptr -1Ch
var_18 = dword ptr -18h
var_10 = dword ptr -10h
var_8 = dword ptr -8


push ebp
mov ebp, esp
and esp, 0FFFFFFF0h
sub esp, 20h
lea eax, [esp+20h+var_8]
mov [esp+20h+var_20], eax
call _ZN1cC1Ev
mov [esp+20h+var_18], 6
mov [esp+20h+var_1C], 5
lea eax, [esp+20h+var_10]
mov [esp+20h+var_20], eax
call _ZN1cC1Eii
lea eax, [esp+20h+var_8]
mov [esp+20h+var_20], eax
call _ZN1c4dumpEv
lea eax, [esp+20h+var_10]
mov [esp+20h+var_20], eax
call _ZN1c4dumpEv
mov eax, 0
leave
retn
main endp


Here we see anothername manglingstyle, specific to GNU^25 It can also be noted that the pointer to the
object is passed as the first function argument—invisible to programmer, of course.


First constructor:


public _ZN1cC1Ev ; weak
_ZN1cC1Ev proc near ; CODE XREF: main+10


(^24) Apparently, for easier porting of 32-bit C/C++ code to x64
(^25) There is a good document about the various name mangling conventions in different compilers:
[Agner Fog,Calling conventions(2015)].
