Hello

Could you show please, how can I make a simple *.obj ARM file and link it's public function into my Delphi project (Android or iOS)

Thank you

I've never tried this but perhaps something like this:

Code:

format elf
public MyFunction

MyFunction:
        add     r0,r1,r2
        mov     r3,12
        bx      lr

Wouldn't almost any linking require the relocations to be setup correctly? Linkable formats seem to be still either under construction or even untouched by porting. E.g., coff and ms coff even set IMAGE_FILE_MACHINE_I386 .

You did the magic! Thank you! It works!!!

Code:

{$ifdef CPUARM}
  function MyFunction(const X, Y, Z: integer): integer; external 'test_ARM.obj' name 'MyFunction';
{$endif}

So:
1) why dont you defined any section/segment and how to define the standard sections like .code, .data, .const ?
2) how to compile thumb-2 obj files? seems like it's the standard Delphi binaries mode

For thumb-2 just set the mode:

Code:

format elf
thumb ;by default all instructions are available so thumb-2 instructions will now be active, see the 'processor' directive for details
;...

l_inc: From what I have seen coff formats are not useful for ARM code.

The relocations could be a problem if the code uses global variables. This will affect the usage of extrn also so I don't know what will happen there.

I think this will work:

Code:

format elf
public MyFunction

extrn TheirFunction:word

MyFunction:
        push    {lr}
        ldr     r0,[TheirFunction]
        blx     r0
        pop     {pc}

I've never used MS COFF for ARM, but I suppose Visual Studio uses it to compile for ARM. The specification does define some values specifically for ARM.

revolution,

Quote:

format elf
thumb

it's too weird, but the Delphi still try to call 32bit mode functions
Hmmm
maybe it's a Delphi or Android SDK bug

so... how to define data section in FASMARM?
I will try to use a thumb-2 function by the pointer
