just that? I thought it be more hard. Can I also do this?:

invoke SomeMemoryAlloc, 256
mov esp, eax

<rest of code>

thanks nop

lol. hahahaha

So where do you want the function to return?

You're using the stack before it's set up.

Now think of it again: stack grows top-down (i.e. to lower addresses), and both examples set esp to the start of memory block.

Bad

Code:

mov esp,top_of_stack
 

<rest of code>



times 256 db ? ;or whateva size stack u want or need
top_of_stack:

Better

So my code would be:

Code:


push 256
call SomeMemoryAlloc ;invoke SomeMemoryAlloc, 256

add eax, 256 ;convert it to higher address for stack setup
mov esp, eax

<rest of code>

hahaha. You need to setup the stack itself first before you call any function. Unless it knows where to return.

Windows will normally allocate separate page regions for each thread stack but the code you have will work too as long as the memory region is a valid read/write area and large enough. In fact, I'm using this to debug thread/virtual-syscall code for my OS project in VS2010.
