Libraries up to date

[ToutEnMasm]

it's a good idea to create the standard libraries at the installation.
If you want to refresh some libraries of masm32 (kernel32.lib for example),install it!.

Hi ToutEnMasm,

The Masm32 project is based on the same concept, it creates the libraries during the installation process. kernel32.lib coming with the masm32 package does it's job fine.

The significant difference between our two methods is masm32 builds from prebuit include files while we build the include files at install time.  This is a significant savings in the installation file as in our case the include folder is 2119456 while our def folder is 478460.  This is why I like the def method.

I'm surprise to read that the kernel32.lib is uptodate.
If you find AddVectoredExceptionHandler and RemoveVectoredExceptionHandler in it,correct me.
This two functions are in kernel32.lib of the SDK and of the C++
There is also The htmlhelp that is is a very old library and haven't not be extract from the dll,this one changed is name.

ToutEnMasm,

kernel32.lib coming with GeneSys contains both of those two functions. The installer creates all the import libraries from module definition files. you can find the two entires in kernel32.def :

Code Select Expand

LIBRARY kernel32
EXPORTS
"_ActivateActCtx@8"
.
.

"_AddVectoredExceptionHandler@8"
.
.
"_RemoveVectoredExceptionHandler@4"
.
.
etc.

You can easily update any import library. To update a library, add the function name to the corresponding module definition file and run polib.exe as described below to create the import library :

Code Select Expand

polib /MACHINE:IX86 /DEF:kernel32.def /OUT:kernel32.lib

Also, remember, if you update one of the standard issue libraries; you would need to include it with your source if it is released as no one will be able to use the source.

All that questions are because the IDE i made use this two functions that give more stability to the SEH in XP.98 use capture of FS:.
Now i can inform others , on how solve the problem.
The better is to dowload the C++ , the collection of uptaded libs can increase .
Thanks for answers
