Re: [Dev-C++] ASM instruction problem

[Mac R. <re...@no...>]

You have to translate from Intel assembly syntax (Visual Studio style) to
AT&T assembly syntax (GCC).  Here is a page with some of the basics, in a
more conversational tone:

http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-ia.html?dwzone=linux

This page has some info on command line arguments to GCC and other issues
you may want to keep in mind.  I don't know how old or out of date this
information is, so you would want to check it with current docs, but it
might give some idea where to look and what to look for:

.DLL files contain the actual executable portions of the library, but are
not linked directly.

.h files contain declarations of functions and data types, but do not
contain the actual code.

So your current situation is that you know the declaration of the
functions, and you have the file with the functions, but your code doesn't
know how to get access to the file with the functions (the DLL).  There are
two ways to fix this:

1. Get the corresponding .LIB file.  .LIB files can be linked into your
program, and they contain just enough code (in "stub" routines) to find the
DLL and attach to it.  This is usually the simplest, and can usually be
done by finding the right .LIB and then adding it to your project -- this
is for other development environments (Visual C, Digital Mars, others), so
I am not certain that this is how it is done in Dev-C++.  Hopefully someone
will confirm and fill in details.

2. You can link the functions out of the DLL directly with LoadLibrary and
GetProcAddress.  This method is *much* more painful to look at, but is also
more flexible and will work with any compiler than runs Win32.

Another thought : if you are trying to do UNIX-like things on Win32, you
might want to look into getting Cygwin installed rather than MinGW.  Cygwin
is intended to compile UNIX-based source code into Win32 executables.
MinGW is intended to compile Win32-based source code into Win32 executables.

Yet another thought : you might look into BOOST (http://www.boost.org).  It
has a lot of utility classes, including a portable threading class library.

[Dev-C++] ASM instruction problem

[Klakier <kal...@in...>]

Hi

Could somebody help me to translate below Visual Studio's style asembler
line to GCC standard?

void Proc ()
{
    unsigned Result;
    __asm
    {
            ...
            mov dword ptr [Result] , eax // setting result
    }
    return Result
}

I read manual and they advice to translate it this way:

void Proc ()
{
    unsigned Result;
    asm ("....");
    asm ("movl  %eax, %0" : "=r" (Wynik));
    return Result;
}

How should I do this?

[Dev-C++] gcc/g++ and wxwindows related curiosity

[Carlos d. M. <cg...@wo...>]

Hi:
In wxwindows mailing list I got an answer saying it sem like it was
using gcc instead of g++. But I have checked the c++ option, which is
for using g++, as I think. but for being sure, I did a trial deleting
gcc, then I got the window, compiler/linker error cygwin1.dll couldn't
be located. But I always thought it was for cygwin compiling for, say,
unix emulated in windows, and mingw32 exes it was not necessary.

How can I select whether to use g++ or gcc in compiling a project, if
C++ does not? I have just tried to compile a C++ project and it said
something about gcc could not lacate some file, so gcc is used in C++.

Thanks

fine, but I need to know how to fill the combobox with values. Is this
possible through the resource file? And if not, what would be the best way
of doing this?

Thanks in advance,

You don't need a C++ compiler for this.  I strongly suggest getting the
book "Hardcore Visual Basic" or "Visual Basic x.0 Programmer's Guide to the
Win32 API".  I know that the last version of "Hardcore Visual Basic"
includes instructions on how to create a TLB.

The current preferred method is to write up the description in IDL
(Interface Description Language) and compile it into a TLB with MIDL.  But
MIDL is not included in Visual Basic -- in comes with Visual C++, and I
don't know what the redistribution rights to it are...  The older method is
to write up the description in ODL (Object Description Language) and use
MkTypLib, which you *CAN* get from your Visual Basic install disk (for
vb5.0 it was in \Tools\Unsupprt\Typlib on the CD, but I don't know about
6.0).  The author of "Hardcore VB" prefers the IDL method over the ODL
method for unspecified reasons, but you may not have a choice.  I don't
have references on hand for IDL or ODL syntax, but you can probably find
some info (or at least examples) either in that directory or on the Web.  I
doubt that Dev-C++ (being based on GCC) supports creation of type
libraries, but I could easily be wrong.

My problem is exactily it. :)

I use Visual Basic 6 and i have several problems with several dll's that i
need copy together with executable. For example the vbrun.

Every time that i will create a package i need lose several minutes finding
and puting DLL's to this package. :/

And what i need is make it eays. Create a .tbl (or something like) that
allow me to export only this file. :)

Have someone ideas or a source code as example ??

Thkz.

Best Regards.

OK, before I get flamed to death, I just remembered something else about
TLBs.  A TLB can be made such that it contains all of the information
needed to talk to a set of DLLs, even if those DLLs are not COM components.
 IMPORTANT : the TLB does not contain the DLLs themselves.  All it contains
is information for a client that says "If you want to call function foo(),
you need to load DLL BAR and use the 7th function in the import list."  The
DLLs would still need to be installed separately.

The only place I personally have seen TLBs used is in Visual Basic
development.  The best example, relevant to the "group of DLLs" approach,
is a Win32 TLB.  Visual Basic does not use header files, so it can't just
"#include <windows.h>" to get access to the Win32 SDK.  Someone extremely
patient managed to build a Win32 TLB, which allows VB programmers to just
add that TLB to their project and now all of the Win32 SDK functions appear
to be normal VB functions.

Hopefully that is closer to the whole truth and nothing but the truth...

[Dev-C++] Question on Dev C++ resource header files

[John <jo...@mu...>]

I am a newbie to Windows programming trying to load a bitmap. How does =
one generate resource header files in Bloodshed dev? The resource editor =
does not seem to do this automatically.

Re: [Dev-C++] Nobody can help me with .tlb ?? :/

A .tlb is a TypeLibrary, which is a COM idea.  A TLB file provides
interface information to a COM client about the services that are present
in a COM server.  A COM server could be a DLL, or an EXE, or an ActiveX
Control (a highly specialized DLL or EXE).  Unless you really want to get
into COM component creation, you won't be making TLB files.

inputp() and outp() will not work on NT/2000/XP style machines, because
direct hardware access is a tremendous security hole.

What you want to do is open the com ports through OS calls.  I did a Google
search for "win32 serial port programming".  I had to slide down past the
first 9 or so results, but then I found this Win32 Programming FAQ:

http://www.iseran.com/Win32/FAQ/section0.html

Down in section 5 is stuff on hardware access.  But I thought that there
might be other stuff of interest, so I gave the link to the primary FAQ
page.  This page will not answer all of your questions itself, but will
tell you which functions to look up in the "online help system".  Dev-C++
comes with some such help files, but anything that you can't find there,
you can almost always find the most up-to-date information in the first few
results of a Google search.  Google indexes the Microsoft Developer Network
(MSDN) pretty well.  One thing to keep in mind -- this stuff is OS
dependent, so it behaves differently (in the details) between
95/2000/XP/CE/etc.  That means you need to make sure the help page you are
reading is for the right operating system, and the right version of the
operating system.  Also, be sure to read the entire page -- very important
information is frequently down in the "Remarks" section.
