Import library to MASM include file converter

[Vortex]

Hi friends,

Here is my tool converting MS COFF import libraries to MASM include files.

Tested with import libraries coming with Hutch's masm32 package and PellesC V3.00

The tool accepts wildcards like *.lib

Hi Erol,
You have certainly been a busy lad creating all these nice tools and we are all better off for it.

You have 'my' thanks,

Hi friends,

Here is lib2inc V1.1 :

- Fixed bug with duplicate names from user32.lib  ( Many thanks Paul informing me about the bug )

The tool is able to extract fuction prototypes from static libraries. If you have the time, could you test the tool with static libs?

Here is the include file set extracted from Pelles import libraries V 4.00 beta1 :

Here is version V1.11 :

- Fixed bug : lib2inc is now able to extract function names with leading @ :

Code Select Expand


@DnsGetDomainName PROTO :DWORD
@DnsIsAMailboxType PROTO :DWORD
etc...

Here is lib2inc V1.3 supporting static libraries. To create an include file from a static library :

Code Select Expand

lib2inc statlib.lib -s

As usually, creating include files from import libraries :

Code Select Expand

lib2inc importlib.lib

Here is lib2inc V2.0 now supporting Fasm.

Usage    : lib2inc libfile.lib [options]

Switches :

Code Select Expand

-s : set global calling convention to STDCALL for MASM \ POASM

   MessageBoxA PROTO STDCALL :DWORD,:DWORD,:DWORD,:DWORD

-fd : output EXTERNDEFs for Fasm - direct calls
   lib2inc outputs include files enabling direct function calls

   EXTERNDEF '_MessageBoxA@16',MessageBox

-fi : output EXTERNDEFs for Fasm - indirect calls
     lib2inc outputs include files enabling indirect function calls

   EXTRNDEF '__imp__MessageBoxA@16',MessageBox

If the user doesn't specify any optinonal parameter then the tool emits standard include files for Masm.
