Hi,

there's an easy way to convert this small function to fasm ?
Maybe using macros ?

Code:
INT MessageBoxF(HWND hWnd, LPCSTR szFormat, LPCSTR szCaption, UINT uType, ...)
{
        CHAR szBuffer[1024] = { 0 };

  va_list pArgList;

       va_start(pArgList, uType);
  vsnprintf_s(szBuffer, 1024, szFormat, pArgList);
    va_end (pArgList);

      return MessageBox(hWnd, szBuffer, szCaption, uType);
}
    


Thanks.

in 32 bits, off my head (might need some fixes):
Code:
cproc MessageBoxF, hWnd, szFormat, szCaption, uType
local szBuffer[1024]:BYTE

lea eax, [uType+4]
stdcall vsnprintf_s, addr szBuffer, 1024, [szFormat], eax
stdcall MessageBox, [hWnd], addr szBuffer, [szCaption], [uType]
ret

endp

According to a simple search, something you are not capable of, its "a MessageBox with printf functionality.".

I've rewritten in this way

Code:
proc MessageBoxF c,hWnd,szFormat,szCaption,uType

        local szBuffer[1024]:BYTE

        lea eax,[uType+4]
        cinvoke _vsnprintf,addr szBuffer,1024,[szFormat],eax
        invoke MessageBox,[hWnd],addr szBuffer,[szCaption],[uType]
        ret
endp
    


I think that is right to use cinvoke for _vsnprintf and invoke for MessageBox.
There's a way to avoid using _vsnprintf and use macros ?

F stands for "format" as on "formatted output".

_vsnprintf is CCALL? Why, it has fixed number of arguments, and all that stdcall shit... but I really am not sure.

It must be "cproc", not stdcall "proc", because it is vararg.

Not sure, check the C header. You might be right.

It is not stdcall proc is

proc MessageBoxF c,hWnd,szFormat,szCaption,uType


"c" after MessageBoxF doesn't make difference ?

According to http://flatassembler.net/docs.php?article=win32 it does. Also the doc has no mentions of "cproc" and after including win32axp.inc fasm keeps saying "illegal instruction"

My bad, i thought macro name was "cproc". Wasn't it "cproc" at least some time ago?

vid,

You're right, up to 1.60 (AFAIK, 61-63 hole in my archive) there was cproc macro. match definitely supersede separate procs… Wink

btw baldr, i think nicer allowed syntax is more MASMy:

Code:
proc Something c arg1,arg2    


So it is clear that "c" is not an argument. If I remember correctly, this was allowed by macro (using some ugly nested macro tricks Razz)
