Export bug

[ecube]

when putting together the GoASM SDK I think I stumbled across a lil bug

Code Select Expand

CODE SECTION
START:
invoke MessageBox,0,'executed notification','title',MB_ICONINFORMATION

invoke MsgBox, 'test'  <---------if I call the function we're exporting internally here it won't be added to the export table
invoke ExitProcess,0

EXPORT MsgBox FRAME iMsg
invoke MessageBox,0,[iMsg],'This function is exported from a exe',MB_ICONINFORMATION
ret
ENDF

this is regards to the Exe_Export example.

Hi E^cube

Thanks for reporting this bug, and thanks also for all your excellent work!

I attach a fix.

Hello jorgon,
thankyou for fixing the bug, maybe after the next SDK release you can take a look at the preprocessing code I wrote to add .if,.elseif etc..(can be any naming) to GoASM, and make the SDK official if you think it's good enoughl so people have a nice place to start like they do with MASM32?

[jorgon]

Yes of course, I would like to look at this.
So do you think the preprocessor will itself deal with some users' desire to add run-time conditionals to GoAsm?

[ecube]

Great! Yeah the preprocessor comes with full source, and adds support for .if,.elseif,.else,.endif and as I mentioned in another thread will look

IF_STATEMENT     db '.if',0
ELSEIF_STATEMENT db '.elseif',0
ELSE_STATEMENT   db '.else',0
ENDIF_STATEMENT  db '.endif',0

;can can edit the comparisons too
LESS_THAN        db '<',0
GREATER_THAN     db '>',0
EQUALTO          db '==',0
EQUALTO2         db '=',0
LESSTHANEQUAL    db '<=',0
LESSTHANEQUAL2   db '=<',0
GREATERTHANEQUAL db '>=',0
GREATERTHANEQUAL2 db '=>',0
NOTEQUALTO        db '!=',0
NOTEQUALTO2       db '=!',0

so
.if D[bird] <= 10

is the same as
.if D[bird] =< 10


and it's fully editable so you can change .if to .when and <= to LESS=  for example

.when D[bird] LESS= 10

.endw

The parsing code is case and space insensitive so

.iF                           EcX      ==     1

is fine


and ofcourse nested is supported I should be done today or tommorow I got caught up at work

.if D[pepsi] == 1
           .if
                   .if
                           etc ..
                   .elseif
                          etc...
                   .endif
           .else
                      etc ..
           .endif
.elseif D[pepsi]  < 5
         etc ..
.else
       etc ..
.endif

how it works is at compile time the preprocessor creates a temp file if it finds conditional statements in the sources or include files in the source then it replaces the found conditional statements with code GoASM understands (cmp, jne etc...) the labels are randomly generated and kept in array when parsing so theres no repeats. then the preprocessor passes on the temp file for compilation.
