我一直在阅读并遵循 Nick Blundell 编写的关于从头开始编写操作系统的教程，该教程可在https://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/~exr/lectures/opsys/10_11/lectures/os-找到开发者.pdf
我已经成功编写了一个可以调用 C 代码的引导加载程序，因此我开始用 C 编写我的内核。我现在正在尝试编写可以在屏幕上打印字符和字符串的函数。当我开始执行 C 代码时，我处于 32 位保护模式，所以我试图从视频内存地址 0xb8000 正确计算内存偏移量。
当我尝试使用计算出的偏移量访问视频内存的特定区域时，我的问题就开始了。由于文本区域是 25 行 x 80 列，我使用公式 ((row * 80) + column) * 2 因为我必须有一个字符字节和一个属性字节。当我设置 row = 0 和 column = 0 时，我尝试打印的 X 不存在。设置行 = 0 列 = 1，左上角会出现一个 X。
从 char* video_memory = 0xb8000 开始并重复发出 video_memory++ 允许我正确访问每个字节并在黑色背景上打印一个空间。
这是我的主要代码：
#include "../drivers/screen.h"
void main() {
//clear_screen();
//print_character('X', 0, 0, 0);
// Helper variables.
int row;
int column;
// We need to point at 0xB8000, where video memory resides.
unsigned char* video_memory = (unsigned char*)0xB8000;
for(row = 0; row < 25; row++) {
for(column = 0; column < 80; column++) {
// Clear the screen by printing a space on a black background.
*video_memory = ' ';
video_memory += 1;
*video_memory = 0x0F;
video_memory += 1;
}
}
// Test the offset calculation by printing at row 0, column 0 (the upper
// left corner of the screen).
row = 0;
column = 0;
// For an 80 by 25 grid. Multiply by 2 to account for the need of two bytes
// to display a character with given attributes.
int offset = ((row * 80) + column) * 2;
// Reset memory location after the loop.
video_memory = (unsigned char*)0xB8000;
// Add the offset to get the desired cell.
// THIS IS WHERE THE PROBLEM IS! Setting column = 1 prints in the first cell
// of video memory instead of the second.
video_memory += offset;
// Set character and its attributes.
*video_memory = 'X';
video_memory++;
*video_memory = 0x0F;
}
这是row = 0 and column = 0时显示 的控制台：row和column为0时的控制台。没有X出现。
这是行 = 0 列 = 1 时的控制台： 行为 0 列为 1 时的控制台。出现 X。
这是我上面的 kernel.c 文件的 objdump：

我已经追踪并亲手检查了我的偏移计算的实际装配说明，它们似乎是正确的。我怀疑当我尝试将我的偏移量（类型 int）添加到我的视频内存地址（类型 unsigned char*）时会出现问题，但我再次不确定。
此外，我尝试硬编码偏移量的特定数字。使用 video_memory += 0 而不是 video_memory += offset 可以按需要工作。
