NASM: win32 interrupt and system calls

[Douglas B]

I wans wondering if I could get some information on using win32 interrupts and making win32 system calls.

I found the interrupt list for windows nt (http://www.ctyme.com/intr/rb-4249.htm), and Linux (http://www.ctyme.com/intr/rb-8144.htm), but I'm still unsure about the correct windows interrupt.

I'm working on windows XP, but will also be working on Vista in the near future, and I'd like to know what the correct interrupt(s) are for these systems.

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

An application programmer doesn't use interrupt (int) calls in Windows. Instead, one makes a call to a function in one of the DLLs supplied by the system. The reference for these functions can be found here:

It is a good idea to study the Iczelion tutorials first:

Nasm examples can be found here:

I've seen Iczelions tutorial and they look good, however they use the MASM syntax, and I'd rather use NASM. I'll check out the link you posted as well, it looks like it'll point me in the right direction.

Thanks
