Hello,

My program needs no echo when reading keyinput.
The following .c program works for that purpose.

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <termios.h>
#include <string.h>

static struct termios stored_settings;

int main()
{
struct termios new_settings;
tcgetattr(0,&stored_settings);
new_settings = stored_settings;
new_settings.c_lflag &= (~ECHO);
tcsetattr(0,TCSANOW,&new_settings);
return 0;
}

But gcc translates:
tcgetattr(0,&stored_settings);
and
tcsetattr(0,TCSANOW,&new_settings);
into
pushl $stored_settings
pushl $0
call tcgetattr
and
pushl %eax
pushl $0
pushl $0
call tcsetattr
respectively.

How can I include them in my fasm source file?
Is it possible to replace them with direct system calls by means of int 0x80?

Thank you in advance.

As far as I know (which might be wrong), termios is more than just syscalls, but a whole bunch of library stuff. You could use fasm to assemble to elf, the use the GNU ld linker to link with the proper libraries...

Then again, I might be confusion termios stuff with some of the more fancy terminal stuff.

Under any circumstance I would advice against using syscalls directly - wrap them up in macros or (my personal preferance), create some small wrapper functions for the syscalls. It makes code a lot clearer, and even if you use wrapper functions, the overhead of a bunch of pushes and a call will be entirely lost compared to r3->r0->r3 switching.

I think bazik posted some linux syscall macros, either here or on the win32asm board.

Yes he did, but aaro and jInuQ are making a standard library for fasm, which will work on linux or windows. http://board.flatassembler.net/topic.php?t=1107

Sounds like a good initiative...
