Hello, can someone give me an example of a DLL that doesn't use the export macro? kind of like how the import section is in the pedemo example. I enjoy fasm's macros, but I like to understand how they work before I use them, I tried looking at the export macro but I didn't really understand it. Also, I know a import entry is like dd 0,0,0,RVA dllname,RVA dlltable, but can someone explain what each dword in each import entry means? Also, I know RVA stands for Relative Virtual Address and it makes the following address relative to the image base, but can someone tell me the significance of it in import and export data sections? Thank you!!!!!! Very Happy

This is what I used when I made my export macro:


http://www.osdever.net/documents/PECOFF.pdf 6.3

For great justice, here is the macro itself! Perhaps It's easier to understand thatn the supplied one?

Code:
macro export name*,[labels*]
{
   common
      edata:
      dd 0
      dd 0
      dw 0
      dw 0
      dd exportname-imgbase
      dd 0
      dd (ot-npt)/4
      dd (ot-npt)/4
      dd eat-imgbase
      dd npt-imgbase
      dd ot-imgbase
      eat:
   forward
      dd labels-imgbase
   common
      npt:
   forward
      dd labels#.export-imgbase
   common
      ot:
      ordinal=0
   forward
      dw ordinal
      ordinal=ordinal+1
   common
      ent:
   forward
      labels#.export: db `labels,0
   common
      exportname: db `name,0
      edata.end:
}

>>Also, I know a import entry is like dd 0,0,0,RVA dllname,RVA dlltable,
but can someone explain what each dword in each import entry means?


Code:
i doubt about 1st 0,$0000'0000,0, but $0000'0000 is a date-time stamp

RVA dllname points to library name MINUS IMAGE_BASE
example: 0,0,0,rva dllname,0,\
         0,0,0,0,0 <- the end :)
         ...
         dllname db 'my super duper puper name dot .dll',0
         ...

RVA dlltable says which funcs addresses to get, so you will use those happily soon :)
example: 0,0,0,rva dllname,rva dlltable,\
         0,0,0,0,0
         ...
         dllname db 'one more mega duper library',0
         dlltable:
           procedure_you_use_in_your_source      dd $8000'0000 + documented_procedure_number
           some_secret_proc_addres_will_lie_here dd name_of_secret_proc
           james_bond_location                   dd james_bond
                                                 dd 0 <- the end :)


           name_of_secret_proc dw 0 <- dummy hint to loader about approximate documented_procedure_number location
                               db 'MessageBox',0
           james_bond          dw 0 <- dummy
                               db 'JamesBond',0

         ...
         call    [procedure_you_use_in_your_source]
         call    [some_secret_proc_addres_will_lie_here]
         call    [james_bond]
         ...

Code:
;wrong
some_secret_proc_addres_will_lie_here dd name_of_secret_proc 
james_bond_location                   dd james_bond 


;correct
some_secret_proc_addres_will_lie_here dd RVA name_of_secret_proc 
james_bond_location                   dd RVA james_bond
