Hi friends,

Here is the the latest release of my tool inc2inc V1.04. The converter translates Masm include files to Fasm style function declarations.

Note that to avoid duplicate code sections, the text section should be declared as:



The attachment includes a Win32 GUI template from Privalov and a console example which uses Hutch's masm32 static library.

The feature of this release is that it uses modified stdcall and cinvoke macros to allow indirect function calls.

Have you thought of extending the program to convert ALL masm files to fasm?

Hi Vortex!

this is a great work.

keep it cool! Master!

Hi Yawgmoth,

Converting all the Masm files with the help of a tool is a difficult task. I think the best is to do this manually.

Hi HarryTuttle,

Thanks for your kind words.

Vortex, I don't follow your logic. Wouldn't converting masm files to fasm be easier WITH a tool than doing by hand?

Yawgmoth,

What do you mean by all masm files? Do you mean only the structures and equates in addition to the function prototypes or would the tool need to convert code also?

Yawgmoth,

Same question, what do you mean with converting all Masm files?

I mean converting assemby files written in masm syntax into assembly files written is fasm syntax, so that you could get some masm source code, run it thru the program, and then compile the file in fasm with no other modifications.

That would be a lot of work because masm is a huge language

language like language ,always assembly but the MASM's syntax is more complicated for those people who always have been using FASM...like me;)

Masm has a lot of features that the other assemblers don't. With the effort required to create a tool to convert masm code to fasm code, vortex could write his own assembler

Fighting! Vortex

GO! GO! FASM

--
i want c# compiler written in fasm :O

maybe you are right and vortex could write the new assembler with all MASM and FASM features....
maybe it is less complicated than full syntax converter...
but 4 me it is better to write pure asm code with FASM instead of almost like C MASM constructions ....

Harry

What would be nice is a more high level version of fasm with built in high level control structures like masm (.if and friends ).

silkodyssey,that's a nice idea.

Version 1.05

This new version declares external functions with the extrndef macro:

Hi friends,

Examples, macro files stdcall.inc + cdecl.inc revised to work with Fasm V1.52

silkodyssey - why do you want these features built-in?
Aren't macros enough?

I don't know what I was thinking then . I've grown to like fasm as it is and I don't use the HLL macros.

Version 1.06
========

- No need anymore to use modified stdcall.inc and cdecl.inc

- Examples assembled with Fasm 1.63.6
