Hello, i was wondering how i could push 64 bits onto the stack for a functions arguments by only using an immediate value, without using 'double' macro.
I know how to do it if the value is in memory by pushing [val+4] then [val].
I realize that using invoke someFunc,double 1.0 is how to do it the easy way.
But if i continue to use these high level macro i will never really learn whats going on under the hood.
After browsing win32ax.inc i only became more confused on how it was done.
So what this boils down to is taking a 32 bit value and casting it to 64 bits then i can push the high and low part separately.
Is the cdq instruction what i need to use? (from chapter 2.1.2 in the manual)
Maybe like..
Code:
mov eax,1.0
cdq
push edx
push eax
call [someFunc]
    

Ok, thanks for your time..

Code:
val = 1.0
push val shr 32
push val and $FFFFFFFF
    
Question

Yep, that works nice, i didn't realize you could concatenate like that.
Since this value is constant we don't need to calculate it at run-time.
I guess now what i need to do is write a little program that takes a 32 bit input value and displays the high and low 32 bit parts after casting it into 64 bits.
Thanks LocoDelAssembly, you have been great!
