MASM include file converter for direct function call V2.00

[Vortex]

Here is V2.00 of my tool convinc eliminating the use of invoke statement. The tool converts MASM include files to this form :

Code Select Expand

EXTERNDEF _imp__AddAtomA@4:PTR pr1
AddAtom EQU <invoke _imp__AddAtomA@4>

EXTERNDEF _imp__AllocConsole@0:PTR pr0
AllocConsole EQU <invoke _imp__AllocConsole@0>

Convinc supports also include files for static libraries, an example from the converted masm32.inc :

Code Select Expand

EXTERNDEF GetCL@8:PROC
GetCL EQU <invoke pr2 PTR GetCL@8>

EXTERNDEF Alloc@4:PROC
Alloc EQU <invoke pr1 PTR Alloc@4>

An example :

Code Select Expand

.386
.model flat, stdcall
option casemap:none

include \masm32\include\windows.inc
include ..\..\kernel32.inc
include ..\..\user32.inc

includelib \masm32\lib\user32.lib
includelib \masm32\lib\kernel32.lib

.data
MsgCaption db "Iczelion's tutorial no.2",0
MsgBoxText db "Win32 Assembly is Great!",0

.code
start:

MessageBox, NULL,ADDR MsgBoxText, ADDR MsgCaption, MB_OK
ExitProcess,NULL

END start

Version 2.1

- Fixed bug with function prototypes taking parameters other than DWORD
- Fixed bug with C functions from static libraries

Code Select Expand

prC TYPEDEF PROTO C :VARARG
EXTERNDEF szMultiCat:PTR prC
_szMultiCat EQU <invoke prC PTR szMultiCat>

You need to put a leading underscore to all C functions from static libraries.

Version 3

- Function declaration supporting indirect function call :

Code Select Expand

EXTERNDEF MessageBoxA@16:PROC
MessageBox EQU <invoke pr4 PTR MessageBoxA@16>


- Improved declaration for C functions :

Code Select Expand

prC TYPEDEF PROTO C :VARARG
_wsprintfA PROTO SYSCALL
wsprintf EQU <invoke  prC PTR _wsprintfA>

Why not include the comma in the definition so this:

Code Select Expand

MessageBox, NULL,ADDR MsgBoxText, ADDR MsgCaption, MB_OK

becomes this:

Code Select Expand

MessageBox  NULL,ADDR MsgBoxText, ADDR MsgCaption, MB_OK

OK, I can add a comma in the definition. My preferred style was definitions without commas.

[zooba]

Maybe an option then. Personally I'm not inclined to use this tool anyway since quite often I play dirty with the stack before calling :wink IMHO requiring a comma between the first two tokens breaks the idea of a command followed by parameters.

However, an option to not include the 'invoke' statement (effectively the same result as the L2EXTIA tool) would be very nice, since I really don't like the function table MASM generates :U
