IMHO cc386 is a full optimizing compiler, i tried it with a few files and the results are better than with gcc.

You must have compared it to a really ancient GCC then, or without optimization enabled in GCC.

Anyone tried Agner Fog's OBJCONV?


Thanks! I've been searching for such tool for a long time. It converts formats and also disassembles *.obj files.

I didn't try it yet for COFF-OMF, but I'll try it tomorrow for linking FASM and D (DMD uses OMF).

But for disassembling *.obj it's cool!
Look this:
Code:
format MS COFF

do_something:
mov eax,2
mov ebx,3
add eax,ebx
ret
    

I assembled.
And it disassembled it with objconv:
Code:
; Disassembly of file: test.obj
; Sun Jan 20 00:52:22 2008

; Mode: 32 bits
; Syntax: MASM/ML
; Instruction set: 80386

.386
option dotname
.model flat


.flat   SEGMENT BYTE PUBLIC 'CODE'                      ; section number 1

.flat   LABEL NEAR
        mov     eax, 2                                  ; 0000 _ B8, 00000002
        mov     ebx, 3                                  ; 0005 _ BB, 00000003
        add     eax, ebx                                ; 000A _ 01. D8
        ret                                             ; 000C _ C3
.flat   ENDS

END
    


Nice! Very Happy

The nice thing is that this tool comes with source. Will learn a lot from it.

Disassembling .obj is obviously easier than .exe, since you get a lot of symbol information to assist you... but cute nonetheless Smile

If you make the function PUBLIC, the symbol name for your proc really should be picked up...

Well , there was one time I used DJGPP and NASM for my DOS projects , But I gave it up coz I couldnt use VESA 2.0 32-bit Subroutines (may be there was some problems since I was on Windows Xp).

Anyway I moved to BCC 5.5 FREE CMDLINE CMPILER


Probably Windows' fault (as mentioned), but I dunno personally. Anyways, you can supposedly "stubit" BC55 .EXEs to run in DOS via WDOSX (although I haven't tried, so I dunno how successful that is).

BTW, DJGPP is a bit more robust and stable (still updated) vs. that old Borland compiler (esp. C++, I assume). But use whatever you want.

I have just taken a look at that link for DJGPP 2.0 , they say you need some auxiliary tools to work with DJGPP 2.0 for Windows Apps or another compiler
that AUX pack is RSXNTDJ , but all the links are dead now. And more over does DJGPP 2.0 support OPENGL Libs and headers ?


Never tried RSXNTDJ, so I dunno how good it is. Yes, I noticed too that the links are dead, dunno why, hopefully someone archived it somewhere.

Anyways, it's probably easier to just use MinGW or OpenWatcom (supports DOS and Win32).

As far as OpenGL is concerned, try this (untested by me, heh, sorry if that annoys you, DOS386): Wink

Mesa is an open-source implementation of the OpenGL specification - a system for rendering interactive 3D graphics.

A variety of device drivers allows Mesa to be used in many different environments ranging from software emulation to complete hardware acceleration for modern GPUs.

Mesa 6.3 DOS/DJGPP Port v1.7
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Description:
~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well, guess what... this is the DOS port of Mesa 6.3, for DJGPP fans... Whoa!
The driver has its origins in ddsample.c, written by Brian Paul and found by me
in Mesa 3.4.2.

Legal:
~~~~~~

Mesa copyright applies, provided this package is used within Mesa. For anything
else, see GPL.

...

Tested on:
CPU: AMD Athlon XP 1800+
Mainboard: GA-7VTXE w/ 512 MB DDRAM
Video card: Voodoo5 6000 AGP w/ 128 MB SDRAM
DJGPP: djdev 2.04 + gcc v3.4.3 + make v3.80
OS: DOS and Win98SE

...

v1.6 (aug-2004)
+ implemented NUL driver
+ added DMesaGetProcAddress and glutGetProcAddress
* reorganized fxMesa wrapper to handle multiple contexts
! fixed a horrible bug in VGA initialization routine
! fixed partial clears

v1.7 (???-2005)
+ enabled OpenGL 2.0 support
+ added support for sw texture compression
+ added FreeGLUT specific functions
* no more GLX sources in DOS GLUT
* made GLUT timer callbacks less accurate but safer

...

Well , actually I could u NASM for my project but I dont know if NASM support SSE x instructions , So I decided to move my butt to FASM since it's been said that FASM support MMX,SSE,SSE2,3 , and one more thing I dont like NASM much coz it has too many syntaxes , and Im kinda lazy to read its doc


From the latest 2.01 doc:

Quote:

It supports from the upto and including `Pentium', `P6', `MMX',
`3DNow!', `SSE', `SSE2', `SSE3' and `x64' opcodes. NASM has a strong
support for macro conventions.


So yeah, it should support everything. But of course, FASM has been around longer, so it might be more stable (or faster, smaller, "better", heh), but feel free to try both.

P.S. The argument is true about choosing what OS to target before using a compiler: e.g. Vista is horrible at DOS b/c DPMI is (always!) limited to 32 MB (hopefully fixed in SP1). However, if you've got XP or older, you should be fine (in that regard, at least). HX is good but doesn't support virtual memory (like DJGPP's CWSDPMI), so take that into consideration too (not that you probably care, but just FYI).
