A little tool that converts C/C++ structures to MASM syntax.
Take, for example, the structure posted by HSE here (https://masm32.com/board/index.php?topic=10950.msg121354#msg121354):
typedef struct _devicemode {
TCHAR dmDeviceName[CCHDEVICENAME];
WORD dmSpecVersion;
WORD dmDriverVersion;
WORD dmSize;
WORD dmDriverExtra;
DWORD dmFields;
union {
struct {
short dmOrientation;
short dmPaperSize;
short dmPaperLength;
short dmPaperWidth;
short dmScale;
short dmCopies;
short dmDefaultSource;
short dmPrintQuality;
};
struct {
POINTL dmPosition;
DWORD dmDisplayOrientation;
DWORD dmDisplayFixedOutput;
};
};
short dmColor;
short dmDuplex;
short dmYResolution;
short dmTTOption;
short dmCollate;
TCHAR dmFormName[CCHFORMNAME];
WORD dmLogPixels;
DWORD dmBitsPerPel;
DWORD dmPelsWidth;
DWORD dmPelsHeight;
union {
DWORD dmDisplayFlags;
DWORD dmNup;
};
DWORD dmDisplayFrequency;
#if (WINVER >= 0x0400)
DWORD dmICMMethod;
DWORD dmICMIntent;
DWORD dmMediaType;
DWORD dmDitherType;
DWORD dmReserved1;
DWORD dmReserved2;
#if (WINVER >= 0x0500) || (_WIN32_WINNT >= 0x0400)
DWORD dmPanningWidth;
DWORD dmPanningHeight;
#endif
#endif
} DEVMODE, *PDEVMODE, *LPDEVMODE;
Copy the structure, then run the attached executable (there is also a slightly confused source :rolleyes:). The C+X (copy & exit) button copies the MASM structure to the clipboard.
The result:
DEVMODE STRUCT
dmDeviceName TCHAR CCHDEVICENAME dup(<>)
dmSpecVersion WORD ?
dmDriverVersion WORD ?
dmSize WORD ?
dmDriverExtra WORD ?
dmFields DWORD ?
UNION
???? struct <>
dmOrientation SWORD ?
dmPaperSize SWORD ?
dmPaperLength SWORD ?
dmPaperWidth SWORD ?
dmScale SWORD ?
dmCopies SWORD ?
dmDefaultSource SWORD ?
dmPrintQuality SWORD ?
ENDS
???? struct <>
dmPosition POINTL <>
dmDisplayOrientation DWORD ?
dmDisplayFixedOutput DWORD ?
DEVMODE ENDS
.DATA?
align 16
devmode DEVMODE <>
Not perfect, right. Most structures come out way better, but here we have a UNION with a non-named structure inside, so that's a pretty complex case ;-)
If you have only the name of the structure, then copy only the name, run the exe and hit Return. If you have Visual C installed, it will try to grab it from there. This may take several seconds.
Great work
