Title: MASM32 Beta 10 (j)
Post by: hutch-- on August 03, 2008, 01:36:49 PM

This version has the new editor, the new script engine, the old script engine implimented as a DLL and the script/text insertion methods put into seperate directories to clean up the masm32 directory so other stuff is easier to find. I have added a missing reference in the dialogs help file, fixed a library module for the dynamic array system, added and synchronised the "Create New" range of menu options so they should be clearer and easier to use.

The new script engine is a lot faster and more powerful but I added the old one as a DLL so that existing scripts would run with no changes, there is a new DLL interface with a matching script to create new ones, the legacy format DLL inteface works correctly but the rich edit 2 is slightly diferent in that it only uses an ASCII 13 internally and this wil break a DLL that assumes a CRLF 13 10 pair on the read side.

I am hoping that this version is ready for release as I have been looking at it for too long but with the new editor and everything I can find fixed it should be very close to release. Testing and feedback would be appreciated.

> so if you work for the KGB, having a badly scanned image of ~~Richard Nixon~~ George W Bush would work as a key

Some help files need updating, but otherwise a perfect job as usual, Sir Hutch!

Hi Hutch,

Checking my MASM32 Beta 10 (j) installation : I could not find msvcrt.inc and msvcrt.lib Is there something I am missing?

Thanks Erol, I will check what has happened, the install I have here writes both to the include and lib directories. In the mean time would you test the msvcrt stuff in the tools directory to see if it builds both the include and lib file ?

D:\masm32\lib\msvcrt.lib
D:\masm32\include\msvcrt.inc

Both installed 3 August 2008...

Hi Hutch,

I runned the batch file \masm32\tools\makecimp\makevcrt.bat and it created correctly the include file and the import library.

I reinstalled Beta 10 (j) with the antivirus software turned off and the installer created the two files without any problem.

Thanks Erol, it means the AV scanner is recognising MSVCRT without the correct extension and protecting the wrong file.

imagehlp.inc not present in \masm32\include\bldlibs.bat

"imagehlp" is a legacy 95x dll, the platformsdk and later no longer include information for it.

Hutch,
\masm32\examples\exampl06\listview\listview.asm needs imagehlp, although I managed to get it work again with a few changes:

.if byte ptr szPath+2 != '\' || eax > 3
INVOKE lstrcat, addr szPath, addr szSlashB
.endif
   ; include \MASM32\include\imagehlp.inc
   ; includelib \MASM32\LIB\imagehlp.LIB
   ; INVOKE SearchTreeForFile, addr szPath, addr szFile, addr szRoot
   ; *** NEW ***
   .data
   txDLL   db "dbghelp.dll", 0
   txSTFF   db "SearchTreeForFile", 0
   .code
   invoke LoadLibrary, offset txDLL
   .if eax
      push eax ; handle on stack
      invoke GetProcAddress, eax, offset txSTFF
      push offset szRoot
      push offset szFile
      push offset szPath
      call eax   ; SearchTreeForFile
      push eax
      invoke FreeLibrary, [esp+4] ; handle is on stack
      pop eax   ; for lstrlen
      pop ecx
   .endif
   ; *** end NEW ***
.if eax
INVOKE lstrlen, addr szRoot
