Hi
How safe is face recognition login ?
Standard laptop camera usually have low resolution 640*480 pixels
If I have a clean shaved face one day and another day a big beard ?
Doesn't that interfere with scan for facial shape
Some men have very fast beard growth
If I get a scare by accident ?
If someone gets pimples one day ?
If you age and starts get very wrinkled ?

Women put on lots of makeup before going to a party and want to make a last minute check ?

Anyone had earlier experience with face regnotion login ?

Especially ml 6.14 bug that makes it take an eternity when using creating big arrays

Yeah, that bug is a nuisance, but there is a workaround:

Code Select Expand

include \masm32\include\masm32rt.inc

.data?
Buffersize=16777216 ; 16 MB
MyFatArray LABEL byte
  ORG $+Buffersize-1
  db ?
EndofArray db ?

.code
start:
  mov EndofArray, "e"
  mov ecx, Buffersize
  mov al, "x"
  mov edi, offset MyFatArray
  int 3
  rep stosb
  MsgBox 0, "Buffer filled!", "Hi", MB_OK
  exit

end start
Builds in 400 milliseconds with MASM 6.14 (and in 200 milliseconds with UAsm)

Also prefer use
.data? If you have big arrays put them there instead otherwise it makes exe bigger
@Stewart might be good suggestions, it only supports SSE,
Especially ml 6.14 bug that makes it take an eternity when using creating big arrays in. Data section
I prefer uasm because it supports all SIMD instructions and don't have that  ml 6.14 bug

Also my ML.exe seems to be super outdated compared to yours. And I wasn't aware of a way to update ML.exe, where can I find that?
Microsoft (R) Macro Assembler Version 6.14.8444

I use ML from Visual Studio, the free community version.
There is a link to download the tools somewhere on the forum.

Hi, so I did try out an updated version of ml.exe and it worked. I did have to do some tweakings with the \masm32\include\winextra.inc file as mentioned in this topic. Hopefully that's the only thing I have to do to make it work normally.

Well now that you've satisfied your curiosity I'd really, really recommend just sticking with the regular simplified segment directives.

It's preferable to use the simplified directives like .data and .code

Yea, will do

Yes there was at least One thread with references and links to it here .... somewhere ...
Perhaps we Should provide an easily accessible and findable link to the most appropriate updated version for use with the MASM32 SDK.

Perhaps even Include it, along with any other items that require updating and bringing up to speed as it were in a Contemporary version release of the SDK ???

Poasm can assemble the code below :

Code Select Expand

.686
.model flat,stdcall
option casemap:none

MessageBoxA PROTO :DWORD,:DWORD,:DWORD,:DWORD
MessageBox TEXTEQU <MessageBoxA>

ExitProcess PROTO :DWORD

PUBLIC start

_data SEGMENT 'DATA'

message1  db 'This is a test.',0
caption1  db 'Hello',0

_data ENDS

_text SEGMENT 'CODE'

start:

    xor     eax,eax
    invoke  MessageBox,eax,ADDR message1,ADDR caption1,eax

    invoke ExitProcess,0

_text ENDS

.drectve SEGMENT BYTE 'CONST'

db '-entry:_start'

.drectve ENDS

END
It's preferable to use the simplified directives like .data and .code

In my own programming I've never run into a situation where they didn't work for me

Self-modifying code is one example.

True, but how often is that actually used or even needed?
Very rarely is my Guess®™.
