i`ve got problem: i would like to use some functions from msvcrt.dll, but if i want call some of them, program fails. source will say more than words. just compile that example and run under debuger:

Code:

format PE console
entry start

include "win32a.inc"

section ".code" code readable writeable executable

       string  db "where is my fault?",0

start:   enter   0,0

     push    string
      call    printf

  leave
       ret

section ".idata" import data readable writeable

library msvcrt,"msvcrt.dll"

import msvcrt,\
   printf,"printf"

    


any ideas, how i could use any function from msvcrt?

Welcom to the forum.

You don't need to use the enter & leave statements:
Code:
format PE CONSOLE 4.0
entry start

Include '%fasminc%\win32a.inc'

section ".code" code readable writeable executable 

        string  db "Hello world :)",0 

start: 
        cinvoke printf,string
        invoke ExitProcess,0

section '.idata' import data readable writeable

  library kernel32,'kernel32.dll',\
          msvcrt,'msvcrt.dll'

  import kernel32,\
         ExitProcess,'ExitProcess'

  import msvcrt,\
         printf,'printf'
    


All this code equivalent to ( Ollydbg view ):
Code:
PUSH sample.00401000
CALL DWORD PTR DS:[<&msvcrt.printf>]
ADD ESP,4
PUSH 0
CALL DWORD PTR DS:[<&kernel32.ExitProces>
    


Notice that after C function calls, you need to balance the stack manually if you don't use the cinvoke macro.

thank you for fast reply. it works. but now i`ve got another problem. i won`t create new topic, so:

Code:
fld dword [ebp-0x2c]
    


how to assume ebp register to a stack segment, beacause that instruction is not decoded as i want..?

and why fasm includes "wait" instruction after "fcomx", "fstsw"..? i know, how exactly my code should look, so how can i disable this "advantage".. Smile

There is no assume directive in Fasm (for good reasons), you should rather use the virtual directive. See Flat Assembler Programmer's manual for details. Here's an example which will assemble to the same code as you wanted it:
Code:
virtual at ebp-0x2C
 some_variable_name  dd some_fp_value
end virtual

;... maybe some code in between

fld some_variable_name
    


You can use the "fn" FPU-instructions, e.g. "fnstsw" instead of "fstsw" which could mean "Floating point No wait ...". If this is to unconventional for you, you can use equates to change the opcodes for those FPU instructions:
Code:
fstsw equ fnstsw
finit equ fninit
fclex equ fnclex
;...
