I'm just curious as to the possibility of loading and executing elf files on OSX. I know the standard executable format is MACHO, but NASM is unable to generate debug information for MACHO objects (and I am required to use NASM). I imagine its a long shot, but I don't suppose I can use ELF files. I can build them with NASM, but I can't seem to even link them with LD.

Is it possible to square a number stored in a register (say eax) without doing any multiplication (by using shifts, etc)? I will be squaring a 16-bit number in 32-bit assembly so overflow shouldn't be an issue. I am using NASM x86 assembly to create the program. Thanks in advance for your help. >>> More
