Hi there,

I already know how to export function from a dll:

Code:

format PE GUI 4.0 DLL
entry start

section '.code' code readable executable

start:
        mov  eax,1
           ret
exit_program:
                movzx   eax,al
              push    eax
         call    [ExitProcess]
               ret

section '.iDaTa' import data readable writeable
 
   dd 0,0,0,RVA kernel_name,RVA kernel_table
   dd 0,0,0,0,0
 
  kernel_table:
     ExitProcess dd RVA _ExitProcess,0
 
  kernel_name db 'KERNEL32.DLL',0

  _ExitProcess dw 0
     db 'ExitProcess',0

section '.edata' export data readable

  dd 0,0,0,RVA dll_name,1
  dd 1,1,RVA addresses_table,RVA names_table,RVA ordinal_table

  addresses_table:
    dd RVA exit_program

  names_table:
    dd RVA _exit_program
  ordinal_table:
    dw 0

  dll_name db 'a1.dll',0

  _exit_program db 'exit_program',0

section '.reloc' fixups data readable discardable

but i can't export variables yet...
variables like:

Code:

var1 db 'some string'
var2 dd ?
var3 rd 8

I'd love some hint please.

Thank you, but it stills not solve my problem, because you are using from the same executable the vars.

Maybe i didn't explain myself correctly, what i want is to use the vars of a dll from others dlls, exes, etc.

I can compile without errors the dll and the exe "caller", but when i call the var from the exe caller i got runtime error:(0xc0000005).

i.e.

Code:

;var in a1.dll succesfully exported
var1 db 'Hello World '

then i import the a1.dll doing the rva a1_name,rva a1_table...
but when i want to use the var1:

Code:

mov esi,var1
; i can't use brackets like [var1] because it will treat it as contents and not like address

In few words i want to load all my vars stored in a dll from others dlls, exes, etc.

I have no help for you, But I do have a question.
Are you coming down from a HLL? Just wondering.

Yeah i code in Actionscript 3.0 xD and i also know a bit of python, C, php, (javascript of course)...

Why? Do I seem so stupid? xD

No, its just the things you want to do seem HLL'ish(at least to me). Is there a reason you don't use the FASM includes? They makes things much easier:

Code:

invoke ExitProcess,eax

instead of

Code:

push    eax
call    [ExitProcess]

And importing and exporting are similarly simple.
Hand coding stuff your way at most just saves a few bytes.

All i want is pretty simple, i want to get my dlls sorted:

a1.dll will only contain vars, lots of them (strings and integers).
a2.dll will only contain functions.
a.exe will only load a1.dll and a2.dll.

That's so much to ask?

In any case, thank you very much asmcoder, you rock my world xD.
