Hi guys, have a question.
Translation error or other error?
For Dev c++;

#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    PROCESS_INFORMATION pInfo;
    STARTUPINFO sInfo;

    ZeroMemory(&sInfo, sizeof(sInfo));
    sInfo.cb = sizeof(sInfo);
    ZeroMemory(&pInfo, sizeof(pInfo));

    CreateProcess("test.exe", NULL, NULL, NULL, false, DEBUG_ONLY_THIS_PROCESS, NULL, NULL, &sInfo, &pInfo);
    DWORD bpAdress = 0x004012A5;
    HANDLE hThread = OpenThread(THREAD_ALL_ACCESS, false, pInfo.dwThreadId);
    CONTEXT ctx = { 0 };
    ctx.ContextFlags = CONTEXT_DEBUG_REGISTERS;

    if (GetThreadContext(hThread, &ctx)) {
        ctx.Dr0 = bpAdress;
        ctx.Dr7 = 0x00000001;
        SetThreadContext(hThread, &ctx);
    }

    BOOL dbgDvm = false;
    while (true) {
        DEBUG_EVENT dbg = { 0 };

        if (!WaitForDebugEvent(&dbg, INFINITE)) {
            break;
        }
        if (dbg.dwDebugEventCode == EXCEPTION_DEBUG_EVENT) {
            if (dbg.u.Exception.ExceptionRecord.ExceptionCode == EXCEPTION_SINGLE_STEP) {
                if (dbg.u.Exception.ExceptionRecord.ExceptionAddress == (LPVOID)bpAdress) {
                    ctx.ContextFlags = CONTEXT_FULL;
                    SuspendThread(hThread);
                    GetThreadContext(hThread, &ctx);
                    HANDLE hProc = OpenProcess(PROCESS_ALL_ACCESS, false, pInfo.dwProcessId);
                    ReadProcessMemory(hProc, (LPVOID)ctx.Eip, 0, 0, 0);
                    cout << hex << "adress :" << ctx.Eip << " breakpoint is here" << endl;
                    ctx.Eip += 1;
                    SetThreadContext(hThread, &ctx);
                    ResumeThread(hThread);
                    dbgDvm = true;
                }
            }
        }
        if (dbgDvm) {
            ContinueDebugEvent(pInfo.dwProcessId, pInfo.dwThreadId, DBG_CONTINUE);
            dbgDvm = false;
        }
        else {
            ContinueDebugEvent(pInfo.dwProcessId, pInfo.dwThreadId, DBG_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED);
        }

    }
    system("pause");
    return 0;
}


The part I'm trying to translate;

It would be helpful if you
- told us what the problem is (error messages? where?), and what your intentions are (see Forum Rules)
- provided complete code (most of us are very lazy, and don't want to add the missing headers etc)
- added some error checking

Apart from these generic comments: the translation looks plausible at first sight. Welcome to the Forum :thup:

miss .data .code who is enough to put on trouble.
Better is to post a zip with  test.exe who is readed and with the headers in use.

objconv is good too.
May the source be with you

hutch--

One of the things I learnt long ago is if you want to convert C code to assembler, set the C output to UN_optimised and when you have the assembler output, then manually optimise it and you will generally get faster code. It takes a bit of practice to get used to where that arguments are and in most instances you work on one algorithm at a time.

daydreamer

here is more info
you can expect C style programming =local arrays :lots of esp+ some number is used for accessing local arrays,because local variables end up on the stack

Thanks for your answers, I think more practice will be required.
