isnt it possible to just replace ml with uasm?
I took a look at uasm and its packed with features and latest opcodes
By and large yes..
There are a few caveats here and there, but you should expect 99% compatibility between the two.

Hi johnsa,
there was a major update on github, should we test the last master ?!
I build everything with UAsm by default, and occasionally check if it's still working with MASM and AsmC. Beware of recent MASM versions, they tend to be buggy and crippled.

thats why I go latest uasm,instead of latest masm probably break code,lacking some macros
also likes lots of SSE/avx macros and other things too
also want access to latest SIMD to try to make a faster version of simple scalar version
maybe I should start with a main uasm .asm windows program instead and include my several .inc files into that instead?

Hi daydreamer,
you use /SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS, how is your main procedure and entry point defined?

its a masm32 program that worked before,newbie when it comes to uasm,maybe its just "main proc" thats the problem?
or incompatible linker?
start:
after that
call Main
invoke exitprocess,eax
Proc main calls some initializing and calls getmessage/translatemessage/dispatchmessage
end start
lack some Cruntime?

Hi daydreamer,
Could you post the source code?
for masm I use .bat files as example
Build gui win32
SET PATH=C:\Masm32\bin
cd $(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)
$(PATH)\ML /nologo -c -coff "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)"
$(PATH)\LINK /nologo "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)\$(NAME_PART).obj" /SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS
cmd /c del "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)\$(NAME_PART).obj"
and run it from notepad++
Can anybody write such to Uasm? Just to open in notepad and compile.

Hi daydreamer,

I have researched uasm example win32 program uses protos for wndproc and winmain,its old masm32 program,which I run .inc files from
I rather want to start with a fresh uasm win32 main program to include them into,than wrestle differences between masm32 includes,libs and ways vs uasm style
Magnus,
There are no significant differences between UAsm and MASM that would require other includes or libraries. They are fully compatible (with rare glitches, mostly because of old MASM bugs).
If you want to test it, just rename ML.EXE to CrappyOldMasm.exe, and UAsm.exe to ML.exe. Then use your IDE or whatever as if nothing happened, and tell us here about the results of your endeavour. Including your source code, of course.

I have found the problem in one of the include files I included,that was originally a program,so I had to remove "end" in this file,this was included before main proc,so now it works,thanks
got trouble with load or use memory variables when using movapd and when using addpd
movapd xmm0,comp1
addpd xmm3,compa
variables look like this
.data
align 16
compa real8 1.0,1.0,1.0,1.0
comp1 real8 2.0,3.0,4.0,5.0
I have read pdf file,so it seems I need to get habit to use macros for loading xmm registers instead and maybe need to use 128bit types instead
funny it works with movaps instead
so in what way should I code this instead,so I can use movapd,well more important to be able to use addpd xmm0,compa,without error?

Quote from: nidud on February 09, 2020, 02:33:14 AM
The source is 64-bit (compa) and the target is 128-bit.
movapd xmm0,xmmword ptr compa ; mov two 64-bit items from compa to xmm0
addpd xmm0,xmmword ptr compa
thanks it works
but isnt it also good to get habit to used xmmword type instead of several real8's or real4's?
LOADPD also would be nice to have
deleted
thanks
maybe use macros like FP8(3.14) could be an option making code more readable too
In UASM we have built-in structs already defined for _m128, _m256 which you can use as well.. for other asssemblers you'd have to just create those struct/unions yourself but would still be compatible.
thanks johnsa
for loops wont work as I want
examples,I am used to C syntax
.for(ecx:ecx<Lmaxmem:ecx++)
.for(esi:esi<maxi:esi++)
.for(ecx=Lstartmem:ecx<Lmaxmem:ecx++)
do something
.endfor
.for(esi=mini:esi<maxi:esi++)
do something
.endfor
lea esi,mini
.for(:esi<maxi:esi++)
do something
.endfor
.for(::)
do something
.break .if (!eax)
.endfor
thanks Habran
so variable stepping you just use ecx+stepping,for dwords,real4s,real8s,real10's
yes:
rcx+8
ecx+4
rsi+16
ecx--
ecx-4
you can use .continue or .break
.for loop is actually using built in .while but gives you more options to set up variables and increase or decrease counters.
You can use more vars at the same time, like:
.for (rsi=src,rdi=dest,ecx=count:ecx:rsi++,rdi++,ecx--)
mov al,[rsi]
mov [rdi],al
.endfor
you get this:
000000013F4851D4 48 8B 35 D5 B6 00 00 mov rsi,qword ptr [src (013F4908B0h)]
000000013F4851DB 48 8B 3D CE AE 00 00 mov rdi,qword ptr [dest (013F4900B0h)]
000000013F4851E2 8B 0D B0 63 00 00 mov ecx,dword ptr [count (013F48B598h)]
000000013F4851E8 EB 0C jmp WndProc+3Dh (013F4851F6h)
000000013F4851EA 8A 06 mov al,byte ptr [rsi]
000000013F4851EC 88 07 mov byte ptr [rdi],al
000000013F4851EE 48 FF C6 inc rsi
000000013F4851F1 48 FF C7 inc rdi
000000013F4851F4 FF C9 dec ecx
000000013F4851F6 85 C9 test ecx,ecx
000000013F4851F8 75 F0 jne WndProc+31h (013F4851EAh)
thanks,for loop has always been my favourite loop,and its even better than C version
good,because otherwise before I used bare metal version about the same as code produced by the forloop
I like the Basic one-liners :tongue:
If_ Filter$(L$(), "MACRO", 1, 4) Then For_ each esi in L$(): PrintLine esi ; list all macros in \Masm32\macros\macros.asm
I broke the code, too many switch,for loops???

:sad:
If you are not using CSTYLE switch don't use .break
only if you specify CSTYLE than you need it
option SWITCHSTYLE: CSTYLE
you don't need to use:
option SWITCHSTYLE : ASMSTYLE because it is a default, which doesn't require .break
I did not test your code but with a quick look I saw that you calculate maxi and maxj, so you don't really know what you get and you don't know if numbers are positive or negative, I would at least check what I get and make sure it doesn't overwrite memory.
I would also avoid using several LOCAL variables in one line, I have noticed that assembler get confused there
I would use instead of: LOCAL maxi:DWORD,maxj:DWORD,istep:DWORD,jstep:DWORD
LOCAL maxi:DWORD
LOCAL maxj:DWORD
LOCAL istep:DWORD
LOCAL jstep:DWORD
it is also more readable
I have somehow wrecked it
it stopped display assembled in 2 or 3 passes in millisecond
and linker complain about maybe corrupt .obj file
must I change to some unicode as standard to replace
db "this is ascii string",0
dw "this is a unicode string",0 ?
dw "一二三四五六七八九十百千万",0
so line 2 and 3 kind of text can be mixed in api calls that use WCHAR as standard?
I got a strange bug,I call a proc in a different source file and it breaks code,so it suddenly exits
wrong epilog setting?,but if I insert
jmp main
Label:
ret
main:
call label
it works
Can you sure a bit more of a complete example?
Hi daydreamer,
I think you should define unicode strings like this:
dw "t", "h", "i", "s", " ", "i", "s", " ", "a", " ", "u", "n", "i", "c", "o", "d", "e", " ", "s", "t", "r", "i", "n", "g", 0
dw "一", "二", "三", "四", "五", "六", "七", "八", "九", "十", "百", "千", "万", 0
From the regression test pack in UASM, we have the following test-case/example file:
You should be able to use dw that way to declare WCHAR strings, and with OPTION LITERALS:ON + L prefix you can directly insert them into INVOKEs.
option casemap : none
option frame : auto; generate SEH - compatible prologues and epilogues
option win64 : 11; init shadow space, reserve stack at PROC level
option literals : ON
option evex:1

I put lots of pushes after label and pops before ret and it works,could been the problem,main loop uses most registers and call proc
