How to invoke a pointer to a function.

[Vortex]

Hi tilman,

The _invoke macro does not perform any checking. Assemblers SolAsm and Fasm don't do any type of checking too.

Oh dear, let's up I won't have to use them any time soon ;0

Fasm does checking the count of parameters in procedure calls if you include extended headers ( win32axp.inc or win32wxp.inc )
in your file...

Hi,

Here are some examples:

Thanks a lot for your help, I just found the answer here
...
I actually discovered another simplification of the official solution:

++ for answering your question by yourself

I actually switched to WinInc

+ for using WinInc

Because, as I understand it, that's the whole point of using invoke over call (and yes, I tried to get by with just call and I failed and invoke saved my bacon :bg)

+ for stating why is masm/jwasm better than other assemblers

Oh dear, let's up I won't have to use them any time soon ;0

+  :lol

Thats 5 pluses from me  :)  :U

To use invoke with a pointer on a proc,you need just some declare

   TestProc PROTO  :DWORD    

   Pfunction TYPEDEF PROTO   :DWORD
   Ffunction TYPEDEF PTR Pfunction
   function TEXTEQU <Ffunction ptr ADRfunction>
.data
ADRfunction dd TestProc
.code
.....
                invoke function,NULL   

here is the function who is call

;################################################################
TestProc PROC  arg:DWORD
         Local  retour:DWORD
         mov retour,1
   
   invoke MessageBox,NULL,SADR("Succeed"),SADR("call to function"),MB_OK

FindeTestProc:
         mov eax,retour
         ret
TestProc endp
