winioctl.h

[Ian_B]

Am I missing something? Is there really no INCLUDE currently available for winioctl.h?  :eek

Hello,
Translate it

Most of the things in there are in the windows.inc. Check some of the definitions and search for them in the other includes.

By "most" you can't mean any of the structures, like DISK_GEOMETRY, or any of the IOCTL control codes for use with DeviceIoControl, which is however listed in the kernel32 lib/inc. So that doesn't leave much...  :eek

Hello,

Join is a translated winioctl.h that my own translator made .It's not the holy bible.
But using it with care ,it can be very useful. Delet the IF,that are kept only to show differences between the original and the translate.

If you have an easy translation of the following C unum the structures are easy enough.

The translation is in the winioctl.sdk that i posted and the translation seem correct
I is translated in a structure and not as constants because C++ use them as structures.
It would be good if a macro can do the same thing in masm

I is translated in a structure and not as constants because C++ use them as structures.

What is the point of translating that as a "structure"? This would not be an include designed for C++, but an include designed for MASM. The "enum" is just a series of constant values that you would use to check the result. Far more critically, I can't tell you how frustrating it was to search through so many people's documentation for that "structure" (including MSDN) and never once find a single reference to the SIZE of the MEDIA_TYPE entry in the DISK_GEOMETRY structure. Until I wrote my own code and speculatively set it as a DWORD, and confirmed the result by reading the output, there seemed no way of finding out.

I don't see any benefit of including complexity that isn't needed to do something very simple, which is just to provide a list of constant identifiers. But since I've tried this approach to disk access with DeviceIoControl and found it has no benefit for me, I just don't care what you do with it anyway. Sorry I mentioned it.  :'(

Nobody heard of KmdKit?  :dazzled:
http://www.freewebs.com/four-f/

http://website.masm32.com/kmdtute/index.html needs an update? KmdKit v1.8 is current.

awesome work by Four-F...

[ToutEnMasm]

this code seems complex to you ?
mov eax,MEDIA_TYPE.F5_1Pt2_512 ; mov eax,1

The benefit is for the one who create the translation code.Structures can be reused in other structures , in API .
If the translation modifie structure in constants , what did you do when you are to translate something who used this structure ?,you are very embarrassed.

[Ian_B]

Shouldn't matter, as long as all the references within the MASM32 project are consistent. This information is unlikely to be used by anyone else, as they will use the original MS winioctrl.h header as-is. And the only references to this useless enum are within this header which is only used for the results of calls to DeviceIoControl. Same with the "extension" to this enum for STORAGE_MEDIA_TYPE.

It's a return value for Chrissake! It's only going to be used in code like this:

Code Select Expand

ASSUME EDI:PTR DISK_GEOMETRY
.IF [edi].MediaType == RemovableMedia    ; RemovableMedia = 11, constant value
;    do something if removable media disk
.ELSEIF [edi].MediaType == FixedMedia    ; FixedMedia = 12, constant value
;    do something if fixed disk
.ELSEIF [edi].MediaType != Unknown    ; Unknown = 0, constant value
;    some form of floppy - do subcheck if that's what we wanted
.ENDIF

Sorry, hutch, but my "grumpy-old-man" pressure-valve is at critical again. I think another break from this forum is imminent.  :'(

ToutEnMasm,
mov eax,MEDIA_TYPE.F5_1Pt2_512 will not work, this gives offset into the structure,
i.e. mov eax,4
mov eax,MEDIA_TYPE.F3_2Pt88_512 == mov eax,12

i sometimes use my macro for enums (also if i want to printout equates)

Code Select Expand

?Enum macro __EnumStart:=<0>,__EnumArgs:vararg
LOCAL i,arg
i = __EnumStart
for arg,<__EnumArgs>
ifnb <arg>
&arg equ i
endif
;       uncomment here for printout, to print decimal, remove 0 h and comment radix lines
; .radix 16
; %echo &arg equ 0@CatStr(%i)h
; .radix 10
i = i + 1
endm
endm

?Enum 0,Unknown,F5_1Pt2_512,F3_1Pt44_512,F3_2Pt88_512, etc.

[ToutEnMasm]

I see that you are abble to make the differences between enumeration of constants and structures.
Not so hard.
See the various parts of the sdk,and not only this file , and you will see that this type of structure are usable as part of other structures (modifying the size) and are used to pass arguments to api.

It sounds like a holiday in the south of France, a comfortable chair, a tall drink and a beach umbrella is in order.
