Hello, anyone can help about mixing fasm and pascal, Let's say:

Code:

; fasm AsmPF2.asm
format MS COFF
public WriteChar
section '.text'
main:
  WriteChar:
    PUSH   BP
    MOV    BP, SP
    MOV    AH, 02h
    MOV    DL, BYTE [BP+4]
    INT    21h
    MOV    SP, BP
    POP    BP
  RET        2

Code:

Program MixPascalFasm; (* TPAsmN2.pas *)
uses crt;
PROCEDURE WriteChar(Car: Char); External;
{$L AsmPF2.obj}
begin
  WriteChar('A');
  ReadKey;
end.

Well i don't need to say that it doesn't work. The error returned by pascal compiler is: "Invalid object file record (ASMPF2.OBJ)"

When all else fails, read the source

Maybe Pascal would prefer a DLL file?

Uh, I would've guessed you're using FPC, but your asm is 16-bit (why???). Two obvious comments: FASM doesn't support OBJ/OMF needed by some older DOS Pascals, and also Pascal the language, in general, can probably do WriteChar natively (without needing asm).

I wanted an easy example to mix fasm and turbo pascal (16 bits)… Well, no comments if FASM doesn't support OBJ, even with 32 bits coding

If you read how they got round some of the problems, it may help you.

avcaballero, either use ObjConv (though probably only works for 32-bit) or switch to FPC or GPC or VPC.

This had been discussed many times, Rugxulo advertising ObjConv 1'000'000'000 times, but indeed it is no help for 16-bit OMF creation

> or switch to FPC or GPC or VPC.

FPC uses COFF, so FASM's COFF or MSCOFF might help ...

For 16-bit OMF, the probably easiest solution is NASM.
