How can I debug an "Illegal instruction" error in my x86-64 assembly ray tracer?
I'm working on a personal project , a simple ray tracer written in x86-64 assembly for educational purposes. It's currently in the early stages, focusing on basic ray-sphere intersection calculations. But I keep getting this error message when trying to run the program.
I included the relevant code snippet from the ray_tracer.asm file in my public repo here https://github.com/Marveeamasi/starter-raytracer-assembly/blob/main/ray_tracer.asm
which focuses on setting up the initial ray and a single sphere for testing the intersection logic.
I had verified that the assembler NASM is configured correctly for my architecture. Hoping to get some guidance on how to approach debugging this "Illegal instruction" error
