1,Looking forward fasm 1.67.27 released!

2,If fasm provide add other directives like the interface, such as SSE5

3,

Code:

struct point a,b
{
    x  dd a
    y  dd b
}
proc distance, a:point, b:point
....code
endp
stdcall distance,[a],[b]
A point 1,2
B point 3,4

1. Good
2. There is not even any silicon with SSE4.2 and already you want SSE5?
3. How does that work? What are you intending to do? See comments in the code below.

Code:

struc point a,b
{
    x  dd a
    y  dd b
}

A point <1,2>
B point <3,4>

stdcall distance,[A],[B]     ;??? what does this do ???

proc distance, a:point, b:point

       ;do you access like this???
 mov     eax,[a.x]
   mov     ecx,[a.y]
...

        ;or do you access like this???
      mov     ecx,[a]
     mov     eax,[ecx+point.x]
   mov     ecx,[ecx+point.y]
...

endp

with

Code:

stdcall distance,[A],[B]

He is obviously passing the values of two structures (here, two dwords) into a process, and:

Code:

A point 1,2 
B point 3,4

is apparently creating the two structures. resembles some c-style with the parameters, am I right?

It is still not clear.

Does "stdcall distance,[A],[B]" push four values to the stack or two values?

lol I'm not quite sure, I do believe he means to combine the two variables of each structure into the entities of [A] and [B]

[EDIT] I believe I saw this same thing (same struct too) when you use the API of SetConsoleCursorPosition. You can either push both values representing the points (hopefully in right order), or you can create an easy-to-use structure much like the one above, and pass [A] to the API.

It looks like he's trying to initialize the structure's data with values, much like in C:

Code:

struct point {
   int a;
   int b;
} point[] = {
   { 0, 1 },
   { 2, 3 }
};

This creates a structure array of 2 elements. point[0] has a as 0; point[1] has a as 2.

It's not the structure initialisation that is the problem, that part is easy to understand. It is the call that has not been defined.

A point 1,2 == A dd 1,2
so [A] = 1

you'd have to use
stdcall foo, A, B

then inside the proc
mov ecx,[A.y] == mov ecx,[A+4]

That is what currently happens. But the OP wrote "stdcall distance,[A],[B]", with the square brackets, which is where the confusion has come from.

My wishlist:

1. -Q switch
2. Add the listing feature and the -L switch
3. /* blah */
4. Write more about the "match" directive

So following 5 commandline options should be final : MPDQL Shocked

1. What is Q for? Example please.
3. Why do you want the ugly c sytle comments? Where is this needed?

They are NOT ugly ... and needed:

This won't compile:

Code:

00000377  81F800040000      cmp eax,0x400
0000037D  0F8505000000      jnz near 0x388
00000383  E895FFFFFF        call 0x31d
00000388  C9                leave
00000389  C3                ret
0000038A  55                push ebp
0000038B  89E5              mov ebp,esp
0000038D  81EC00000000      sub esp,0x0
00000393  90                nop
00000394  8B4508            mov eax,[ebp+0x8]
00000397  85C0              test eax,eax
00000399  0F8517000000      jnz near 0x3b6
0000039F  8B0530304000      mov eax,[0x3030]
000003A5  81F800000200      cmp eax,0x20000
000003AB  0F8D05000000      jnl near 0x3b6
000003B1  E972000000        jmp 0x428
000003B6  8B0530304000      mov eax,[0x3030]

But this could:

Code:

/* 00000377  81F800040000 */     cmp eax,0x400
/* 0000037D  0F8505000000 */     jnz near 0x388
/* 00000383  E895FFFFFF */       call 0x31d
/* 00000388  C9 */               leave
/* 00000389  C3 */               ret
/* 0000038A  55  */              push ebp
/* 0000038B  89E5 */             mov ebp,esp
/* 0000038D  81EC00000000 */     sub esp,0x0  ; Very efficient compiler 
/* 00000393  90 */               nop
/* 00000394  8B4508 */           mov eax,[ebp+0x8]
/* 00000397  85C0 */             test eax,eax
/* 00000399  0F8517000000 */     jnz near 0x3b6
/* 0000039F  8B0530304000 */     mov eax,[0x3030]
/* 000003A5  81F800000200 */     cmp eax,0x20000
/* 000003AB  0F8D05000000 */     jnl near 0x3b6
/* 000003B1  E972000000 */       jmp 0x428
/* 000003B6  8B0530304000 */     mov eax,[0x3030]

Why do you need "-q" switch? You could use
fasm.exe smth.asm >nul
to hide compiling info, and
fasm.exe smth.asm >nul 2>&1
to hide everything, including errors.

Grom PE, someone (e.g. Japheth) claimed that running FASM a ton (!) of times in a row is slower than it would be if -Q was used (even >NUL was too slow).
