Yves,

Its an old idea, I think Erol (Vortex) designed it about 10 years ago. It works but to make a comprehensive set, you would have to write a macro for every API and that would end up finished for Windows 3000.

Not a big deal, these macros could be generated. The resulting file would have about 3MB. I'm not sure whether I would like it, though :cool:

The other problem is you would have to have 2 of them so you could handle the function form as well as the statement form.

The function form is enough. You can use void if you don't need the return value.

30 000 macros to write isn't a problem for me
It can be made with the extraxted list of protototypes from the windows sdk.
Have a look on this list (With the names of header) who as no duplicate or a  very few number.
The name of headers is a better choice than the name of lib because msdn refer to header more than lib.
The zip is a 7Z,because 7Z is not accepted.

Some look a bit unfamiliar, Yves, but overall you've done an excellent job :thumbsup:

Nidud maked that some years ago in AsmC.

It's very interesting for C translation, because syntax is exactly that of C  :thumbsup:.

But it breaks old code and makes you dependent on new includes. I also like the option to search a fat source for invoke.

Hi HSE,

Kindly, could you expain why there are very few people who translated the whole MS SDK header files to assembly?

I don't think so.

I don't pay attention if it's in includes or AsmC build that when read includes. Anyway, for compatibility reasons almost never used.

Sorry, C translation is "C source code translation"

Header files translation is "madness" ? :biggrin:

Hi HSE,

QuoteHeader files translation is "madness" ?

No worries. Exactly, that's the problem : The C\C++ header file set is very complicated. Translating them to asm is a very big job.
