Hallo all,
playng with Fasm 1.67.26 preprocessor capability i have done this little batch/macro snippet to create maj/min versioning in the PE OPTIONAL HEADER.
Stable Release 26 Nov.2008
To have it working:
- copy the following 4 files in the fasm path dir, for example: "C:\fasm"

-- count.asm
-- counter.asm
-- version.bat
-- vbuilder.asm

- open te file "version.bat" and change the fasmpath accordingly
- and in your prj directory on the command, write for example:

Usage:

version myprog.asm myprogr.dll

version myprogr.dll

version myprogr.dll alfa=beta gamma=delta

version myprogr.exe minor=20 alfa="beta" major=10h

version myprogr.exe

Here the code:
count.asm

Code:

vmajor dw 0
vminor dw 0
  
if ~ (defined major | defined minor) 
  load cmajor word from 0
  load cminor word from 2 
  else
        if defined major + minor
            cmajor = major
              cminor = minor
              else
                        if defined minor
                            cminor = minor
                              load cmajor word from 0
                     else if defined major
                               cmajor = major
                              load cminor word from 2
                     end if  
            end if 
     end if
              
 store word cmajor at vmajor
 store word cminor at vminor

Maybe you can also consider detecting when assembly has failed and not update the counters.

BTW: Perhaps it might be better/easier to make a small exe file to do all the work. The bat/asm combo seems a little bit cumbersome to my taste. Is there some reason you chose to use the bat/asm method? I'm trying to think why/where it might be an advantage over a small exe.

Maybe you can also consider bringing evidence when assembly has failed and the counters would be updated... Laughing

Do you ? But, seriously
It is a real pleasure to talk to you. Very Happy

especially when you are Gone away Fishing... Laughing

The problem is that of the three Musketeers...People believe
that they were only three, but to tell it all, in reality, they are four Musketeers, and they reside in the same %fasmpath%. Also, dont worry ! All would not go in the Wrong (to paraphrase a "Talkinheads-ity").
If someone, sword in hand, chops/cuts up the HDD, where the %fasmpath% resides, well, that is a more serious matter, an other old old story... Wink

Have i persuaded you ? Very Happy

hopcode,

Update must be done atomically, i.e. all of

Code:

        …
        fasm %1.asm "%1%ext%"
        …
        fasm %fasmpath%\vbuilder.asm %1.exe
        …
        @fasm %fasmpath%\counter.asm count.bin
        del %1_count.bin
        ren count.bin %1_count.bin
        …

must succeed, error message otherwise.

By the way, my .DLL is still ver. 0.00, and mysteriously .Exe appears… Wink

right, if you dont specify :

I'm curious as to what makes you come to that conclusion?

Ok, consider the things in the following light ...
Smile

fassen wir mal zusammen... (~tr: let summarize...)
1) You and papa Baldr help a lot the primers. a + for you both

2) You and papa Baldr for HL discussion (like the one here)
have lot of tips/suggestions and no direct code.(that is normal, one asm-expert would say)
Also, a ++ for papa and a + for you, because he makes use
of pseudolanguages too, appositedly created by himself.

3) When you disappear for a short time,papa does his appearance.

4) Same idiomatic peculiarities...

5) You are both not aggressive. a + for you both

6) And Last, but not least, he is, with few posts, like your protégé
not on technical matters. In fact, on technical matters he can manage himself, alone by himself, without this "your protective attitude", i would say,
a papa's attitude. Very Happy

Note: point 6 could be understandable by old frequent board people only.
This doesnt act as evidence.

Finally, it seems you are both the compliment to 1 person.
or i like figuring it so out...

hopcode

hopcode,

In updated source

Code:

fasm %fasmpath%\vbuilder.asm

compiles to vbuilder.bin which is deleted several lines later, thus destroying the result. What's the catch?

revolution,

I'm stunned. No comments. Wink

hopcode: Curious, while I am flattered to get all those +'s I am also surprised that someone has taken the time to consider things like this. Why would you imagine I would need a sock-puppet? Have you also considered that if what you say is true then I would have also taken to replying to myself, sometimes contradictorily, that would be weird don't you think? Kind of like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, hehe.

hopcode,

Another batch Wink

of suggestions:

version.bat

fasm+ver.cmd source.ext target.ext may be more descriptive name and consistent (with fasm.exe) syntax for version.bat. With little effort, you can even accept it fully, with options (but, there is more: you can introduce your own options as well! Just don't forget to cut them out from fasm command line Wink

).

Well, not so little and not fully (batch language is barely documented and full of quirks), here is example:

Code:

@echo off
set source=
set target=

:ParseCmdLine
  if ""=="%1" goto ParseDone
rem With command extensions enabled you may use /i if option
rem -d option requires specific handling because of =
  for %%o in (D d) do if "%1"=="-%%o" ( echo Option: "%1 %2=%3" & shift & shift & goto Continue )
  for %%o in (M m P p S s) do if "%1"=="-%%o" ( echo Option: "%1 %2" & shift & goto Continue )
  if ""=="%source%" (
    set source=%1 & goto Continue
  ) else (
    if ""=="%target%" ( set target=%1 & goto Continue )
  )
rem Here we come with unrecognized syntax
  echo WTF is "%1"?
:Continue
  shift
goto ParseCmdLine

:ParseDone
echo Source: "%source%"
echo Target: "%target%"

It's not fully tested though.

You may use %~p#, %~n# and %~x# for path, name and extension portions, respectively, of batch parameter %#. You don't really need the extension, do you?

count.asm

Is it necessary to load file "%vcount%" twice in count.asm?

Idea for the next major upgrade: VERSION.INC from fasm package. It's simple to parse, not much harder to update ("9" => "10").

vbuilder.asm

Parse MZ/PE headers.

No, that is so written only for a clearness pourpose.

Yes, the next versions, as i have time

Well,i think it is a bit too much. And consequently, in this sense, i agree with the
"cumbersome" adjective that revolution said about using of asm/bat, if i am not mistaken. I like this simple solution (that doesnt exlude merging other suggestions from you,...mmmh..thinking... ) because i perceive it even integrated, and on the "minimum requirement" for a version incrementing system.
BTW, i see that the thing is of some interest for you,isnt it ?

As in almost any problem discussed on this board. When I see some solution, several questions arise immediately in my mind:

1. Can it be improved?
2. Is it as generic as possible?
3. Is there any other way to solve that problem?
And last, but not least:
4. Does it handle marginal cases / errors? Wink

For example, my question about duplicate file "%vcount%" was because when I encounter almost equal and self-contained code fragments I ask myself: "Why don't define macro for that?"

Even simple 4-liner for loading word from file will clearly state it's purpose and (moreover) similar semantic of that fragments (up to the parameters).
