Strange error message

[Daos]

Hi i'm very new to HLA and i was wondering why when i compile this short code(this was bigger but i stripped it so i highlight the error)

Code Select Expand



program testGetxy;

#include( "stdlib.hhf" );
#include( "console.hhf" );



var

    x:uns32;

    y:uns32;



begin testGetxy;



   

   

    console.getX();

    mov( eax, x );//line 24

end testGetxy;




error on line 24  expected : encountered ( 
Possible undefined ID .getX

ThX a lot!

Okay, a few things you need:

This function you use are Windows specific so they are not included in the standard hlalib.lib (to maintain compatibility with Linux.

If you want these, you have to link with wincons.lib
The one that ships with hla may not be complete, so use the attached wincons.lib

Another problem is including console.hhf... you have to include "win32cons.hhf" and doing so, you may not also include "stdlib.hhf" or "console.hhf" both of which will exclude "win32cons.hhf"

Code Select Expand


program testGetxy;

/*

compile:
hla testGetxy wincons.lib

*/

#include( "win32cons.hhf" );

var

    x:uns32;

    y:uns32;



begin testGetxy;


    win32cons.getX();

    mov( eax, x );//line 24

end testGetxy;

Slight correction to my statement above.

If you want to use "stdlib.hhf" you may include it on a line *after* "win32cons.hhf"
eg:

#include ("win32cons.hhf")
#include ("stdlib.hhf")

#include ("stdlib.hhf")

Where can I get Win32cons.hhf ?

I just have win32.hhf
and console.hhf

I ´m also in the same sirtuation exposed at the beginning of this post and several errors in files from pages 193 to 198

Thanks in advance for your kind of attention.

The win32cons.hhf and library come with the "hlaexamples" archive on webster

http://webster.cs.ucr.edu/AsmTools/HLA/dnld.html

(scroll down past half way).  Note that I've had some problems with this before and had to recompile the library to make it work.

A working library and header file are also included with my HIDE (HLA IDE) package
http://www.geocities.com/kahlinor/HIDE.html

HIDE includes all the programs you need (including HLA), and runs with no setup right out of its own folder.  Of course, it probably won't work on your system if you have Win2000 (HIDE has been tested on Win98se, WinME and winXP).

Also don't forget, since "win32cons.hhf" sets a global compile-time variable, it needs to be included before "stdlib.hhf" in your source code.

Why HIDE does not work under Windows 2000?

[Sevag.K]

Why HIDE does not work under Windows 2000?

I have no idea.  I don't have a 2000 box to debug it on.

Sevag.k:

Is win32cons.hhf the only one I have to copy or there is some more ( .hhf .lib etc. ) to get ?

You also need to copy the library and link it with your code.  The library is either wincons.lib or win32cons.lib

OPS !

I´m still at the same position my friend !

I did copy of everything what you stated and before to do that, I actualized the newest version of HLA, then copy the files from HIDE, but at the end, nothing happen.

By the way, I decided to show what the errors are, so, you can see better what is happening here.

As the matter of fact here they are:

Which document are you getting these examples from?

[Sultan]

The Art of Assembly Lenguage

[Sevag.K]

I can't find you page references on either the printed or the online version.  Mind sending me a copy of the soucres?

[Sultan]

OK Sevag.K

First of all thanks for the quick reply and for to be in touch posting over this matter.

My problem is that I cannot compile or make the .exe in the samples that come indeed the Art of Assembly Lenguage book at pages 194 to 198 like I set in a post before this one.

By the way they are located Volume II Chapter 11 mean 2.11.2, 2.11.3, 2.11.4 from pages 294 to 298 of that book

Hope this help, otherwise I copy the sample and send it to you in a word file.

Regards.

That won't be necessary, thanks.  I found them.

Here is what you need:

win32cons.hhf
wincons.lib
change occurences of console namespace to win32cons namespace:

Eg:

console.gotoxy (5, 10);  becomes:
win32cons.gotoxy (5, 10);

Here is one sample:

Code Select Expand



// testGotoxy.hla
// build with:
// hla testGotoxy wincons.lib

program testGotoxy;

#include( "win32cons.hhf") // include win32cons.hhf here
#include( "stdlib.hhf" )

// instead of consle.xxx
// use win32cons.xxx

var

    x:int16;

    y:int16;



begin testGotoxy;



    // Throw up some text to prove that

    // this program really clears the screen:



    stdout.put

    (

        nl,

        "HLA console.gotoxy() Test Routine", nl,

        "---------------------------------", nl,

        nl,

        "This routine will clear the screen then demonstrate the use", nl,

        "of the gotoxy routine to position the cursor at various", nl,

        "points on the screen.",nl,

        nl,

        "Press the Enter key to continue:"

    );



    // Make the user hit Enter to continue.  This is so that they

    // can control when they see the effect of console.gotoxy.



    stdin.readLn();



    // Okay, clear the screen:



    win32cons.cls();





    // Now demonstrate the gotoxy routine:



    win32cons.gotoxy( 5,10 );

    stdout.put( "(5,10)" );



    win32cons.gotoxy( 10, 5 );

    stdout.put( "(10,5)" );



    mov( 20, x );

    for( mov( 0,y ); y<20; inc(y)) do



        win32cons.gotoxy( y, x );

        stdout.put( "(", x, ",", y, ")" );

        inc( x );



    endfor;



end testGotoxy;
