; subroutine _calc_sum
; finds the sum of the integers 1 through n
; Parameters:
;   n    - what to sum up to (at [ebp + 8])
;   sump - pointer to int to store sum into (at [ebp + 12])
; pseudo C code:
; void calc_sum( int n, int * sump )
; {
;   int i, sum = 0;
;   for( i=1; i <= n; i++ )
;     sum += i;
;   *sump = sum;
; }
