Hi John,
When writing Fresh Guide, I realised that we don't need DispHex and DispDec macros, we could use display macro from here: http://board.flatassembler.net/topic.php?t=86. What do you think? I can make all necessary changes in the source.

And could you think about converting cdecl.inc file to Fresh proc style? I can't do it myself, I don't know so much about the macros This file is important, at least for those who want to use MSVCRT.DLL library.

Well, it looks very interesting (as almost everything Privalov wrote). I am agree, but with only one note:
I think it is better to find another name, not "display". It is not a good style to rewrite native keywords with macroses. Maybe "DispEx" or something...

About cdecl.inc, I will make it, but just now I am too busy with Code completition, that smoothly pass to "source level debuger" not giving me opportunity to pack it in even partially working version for uploading.

Regards.

I agree, but in this case the "meaning" of display directive doesn't change, only its functionality is extended. In Fresh 'display' has already been extended - and it is still called "display". On other side it is bad to have too many names to remember. So IMO in this case we should stay with "display".


Great to hear that!!!

regards

Decard,

Beside msvcrt.dll, it's possible also to use crtdll.dll

Well, actually, Fresh does not extend the functionality of display directive, it only interpret information, that "display", displays. But directive acts absolutely the same way as in every FASM version, simply sends to "terminal" simple ascii codes without any processing.

You can remember, there was similar case with "enter" macro from stdcall.inc library. We change it to "begin" due to not overwrite the instruction "enter". Of course there is another solution (Privalov uses it because of compatibility reasons in the last versions of stdcall.inc in the FASMW package) but I still think our solution is better. The compatibility is "double-edged sword".

We simply can think out some easy for remember name, avoiding confusions.

Regards

I think that 'disp' name should be OK. It was enough to modify just display.inc file.


... and other DLLs that use C calling mode. It was just an example

outdated attachment removed - now it can be found in Fresh package

Hi Decard.
Good work. I will include it in next work version.
BTW: I hope I will upload it in the site (again with first try for debuger) very soon. Probably this night.

Regards.
