Note: this is deliberately posted in Main since related to both DOS and Win32.

Note to Edfed & Co : this doesn't work in Windaube 98 & Co (see shot below) Laughing

Code:

        pope   eax            ; Our silly "PO-inter" | Now stack is neutral
        pushd  0              ; Reserved UINT32 for output
        mov    ecx, esp       ; Now points to the reserved UINT32
        push   ecx            ; Output: number of args captured 
        push   eax            ; Input PO-inter
        call   dword [CommandLineToArgvW]   ; Result PO-inter in EAX
        push   eax            ; PO-inter is at [ESP] | Amount is at [ESP+4]

Yeah. Looks so... custom. What's wrong with printf again?

Code isn't that bad, but I still don't get what's with the pope Smile

UPDATED - added PString example as competition against CommandLineToArgvW Shocked

Code:

        ; We can try to copy it (may be terminated by space or ZERO !!!)

        mov    ch, 0                ; Single arg size
arg_copy_loop:
        cmp    ch, ccsngarglim      ; Check single arg size limit
        jae    short parse_abort    ; Bad luck 
        mov    ah, dl               ; DL already validated dest size
        add    ah, ch               ; CH incomplete source and dest raw size
        cmp    ah, (ccoutbufsiz-3)  ; Reserv 3 Byte's | Const limit 61 to 252
        jae    short parse_abort    ; Bad luck 
        cmp    al, 32
        jb     short patch_dot
        cmp    al, 127              ; "~" + 1
        jb     short no_patch_dot
patch_dot:
        mov    al, 46               ; Dot "."
no_patch_dot:
        inc    edi                  ; & Place char to [EDI+1]
        stosb                       ; & After this EDI will point
        dec    edi                  ; & to the char
        inc    ch                   ; Single arg size
        cmp    dh, 240
        ja     short parse_abort    ; OK, this was the hard source limit
        mov    al, [esi]            ; Do NOT use LODSB !!!
        and    al, 223              ; Test for 32 and ZERO | 255 - 32 = 223
        jz     short copied_him_wow ; We DID NOT inc, "arg_space_loop" will
        lodsb
        inc    dh                   ; Source commandline string size
        jmp    short arg_copy_loop

DOS386,

If CommandLineToArgvW() is stdcall (as it looks like), mov ecx, esp / push ecx can be replaced with simple push esp, isn't it?

Maybe true ... maybe PUSH ESP was dangerous ... or did this problem exist on 8086 with PUSH SP only ?

BTW, was anyone (Revolution ?) able to "break" my "TESTCMPS.EXE" - make it crash or produce garbage or corrupt memory ?

Not me. I don't even know what you are asking about, but if it runs under DOS then I won't be able to test it.

Are you referring to the fact that push (e)sp works differently on >=386 than on 8086 or do you mean something else?

YES. The idea of "PUSH SP" or ESP or RSP or ISP (Insane Stack Pointer - 1024 bits wide on XXXX1024 CPU's available soon) is somewhat strange to me, but there apparently exists at least one piece of code that can use it Smile

> but if it runs under DOS then I won't be able to test it

It runs also in DOS.
