Unhandled exception at 0x00000005 in : 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00000005. when making a ret call

Question

My program is supposed to read an integer n from the user and then calculate all the divisors and if they are prime or not. I am using the Irvine 32 library. Now this is the weird part, when I enter in an even number my program executes as it is supposed to. When I enter in and odd number my program gets the error which is the title of this post.

My main Proc:

main PROC
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; This block displays greeting and newline;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
mov edx, OFFSET greeting  
call Writestring
call Crlf   

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; This block gets the integer from the user;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
call GetInt 
call Crlf

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; This block gets calculates the divsiors and prime divisors.;
; It then puts them in to an array to get ready to display.  ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
call CalcDivisors

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; This block displays the results to the screen.             ;
; in an n-1 by 3 table.                                      ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
call Display_Results

exit
main ENDP

Now the Proc that has produces the error:

CalcDivisors PROC uses eax ebx ecx edx esi edi
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Function calculates divisors then pushes them on to an array;

                      call dumpregs
     Push_div_array:
                      pop ecx

                      mov [edi],ebx
                      mov eax,[edi]
                      call writedec

                      mov eax,0
                      mov eax,n
                      call dumpregs
                      inc ebx
                      jmp Jump_above
     Push_2_array:

                  pop eax
                  jmp Jump_above
      foo:
          ret

CalcDivisors ENDP

Now the line that is giving me the exact error is the following:

foo:
    ret

It is boggling my mind as to why it is crashing when I enter in an odd number for n and not crashing when n is even. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

It looks like you forget to pop some values from the stack. Check the number of push and pop instructions executed.
