[fasm-help] defining locals,local labels,asmwork

[webmaster <wm...@sc...>]

hi, please have a look at the modified example.asm:


include '%include%/win32a.inc'

.data

  caption db "Win32 Assembly",0
  message db "Hi! I'm the example program!",0

.code

  start:
        stdcall ShowMessageOne,message
        stdcall ShowMessageTwo,message
        invoke  MessageBox,HWND_DESKTOP,message,caption,MB_OK
        invoke  ExitProcess,0


  proc ShowMessageOne,ptrMsg
        dummy dd ?           ; dummy doesn't work as local - .dummy does
work as local
        .dummy dd ?
  enter
        mov eax,[dummy]
        jmp xskip            ; .skip doesn't work
        invoke  MessageBox,HWND_DESKTOP,[ptrMsg],caption,MB_OK
        xskip:               ; .skip: doesn't work
  return


  proc ShowMessageTwo,ptrMsg ; shouldn't ptrMsg be a local variable?
        .ptrMsg dd ?         ; no complaint about this!
        .dummy dd ?
        .rc POINT
  enter
        mov eax,[.dummy]
        mov eax,[.rc.x]
        push caption
        pop [.ptrMsg]
        mov eax,[.ptrMsg]
        invoke  MessageBox,HWND_DESKTOP,eax,caption,MB_OK
  return

.end start   

-----------------------------------------

I now started using the asmwork IDE - in general I like it very much.


Two points seem to be considerable for me:

- (asmwork.asm) label wait_for_compiler: after #SetCursor...# I inserted
#invoke Sleep,10#. Otherwise compiling takes 100% of both processors on my
dual board. It might be even useful to spend the compilation process an own
thread which notifies the windowproc when finished.

- perhaps it is possible that the asm-file which is loaded first is always
preselected as file to compile.
So in the settings there would be a input and an output setting. That would
make compilation handling easier when you correct mistakes in an included
asm-file and then try to compile it again (now you first have to select the
main file again before you can compile).
