C to ASM

PSOMESTRUCT *AnyName = NULL;

Thx in advance.

This is deal of your style, but by agreements of assembler syntax it could be so :

Code Select Expand


NULL        EQU                0
AnyName  PSOMESTRUCT  NULL

But for it is need ever to have special type, so possible it simplify by macros :

Code Select Expand


NULL     EQU           0
PC        TEXTEQU   <DD> ; определяет указатель на код
PD        TEXTEQU   <DD> ; определяет указатель на данные
AnyName  PD  NULL

PSOMESTRUCT *AnyName = NULL;

PSOMESTRUCT typedef ptr SOMESTRUCT

SOMESTRUCT STRUCT
..
value1 DWORD ?
value2 LPBYTE ?
....
value5 LPSTR ?
..
SOMESTRUCT ENDS

A simple way...

Code Select Expand

SOMESTRUCT STRUCT
..
value1 DWORD ?
value2 LPBYTE ?
....
value5 LPSTR ?
..
SOMESTRUCT ENDS

.data?
somestruct SOMESTRUCT <?>

.data
psomestruct dd offset somestruct

Type definitions in assembly language are not quite parallel with those in C, in reality the only real typedefs that exist are the width of the object in bytes (ie BYTE/WORD/DWORD/QWORD etc...) all others are simply equated to these in Windows.inc. Since parameter checking in MASM will only check the width of the parameter it makes little difference to do C typedefs other than those that deal specifically with width.
