windows - Is it possible to make writeable variables in .text segment using DB directive in NASM?

I've tried declaring variables in .text segment using e.g. file_handle: dd 0.

However, trying to store something in this variable like mov [file_handle], eax results in a write error.

I know, I could declare writeable variables in the .data segment, but to make the code more compact I'd like to try it as above.

Is the only possibility to use the stack for storing these value (e.g. the file handle), or could I somehow write to my variable above?

Executable code segments are not writable by default. This is a basic security precaution. No, it's not a good idea. But if you insist, as this is a toy project anyway, go ahead.

You can make yours writable by letting the linker know to mark it so, e.g. give the following argument to the MS linker:

link /SECTION:.text,EWR ....
