Hi Biterider!
Playing "Resguard Game" with an standard MASM64 SDK application (CodeEdit) only requiere resguard.inc and resguard.lib. Resguard DLL send messages to DebugCenter without problems.
The interestig part is that an application trough an DLL can access any debug function. For example I added to Resguard in a very elemental way:
ResGuardDbgHex proc
DbgHex rcx
ret
ResGuardDbgHex endp
ResGuardDbgDec proc
DbgDec rcx
ret
ResGuardDbgDec endp
ResGuardDbgStr proc
DbgStr rcx
ret
ResGuardDbgStr endp
Called from Masm64 SDK app:
rcall ResGuardDbgStr, "vuelve"
rcall CloseMMF,pMMF,hMMF ; close the memory mapped file
rcall ResGuardDbgDec, 36
rcall ResGuardDbgHex, 36
Result is:
rcx -> vuelve [ResGuard.asm, 1476]
Hook_CloseHandle HSD [ResGuard.asm, 1094]
rcx = 36 [ResGuard.asm, 1470]
rcx = 0000000000000024h [ResGuard.asm, 1464]
+ ResGuardShow [ResGuard.asm, 1493]
Perhaps with a very little DLL could be posible to make useful DebugCenter for everybody in a simple way.
More elaborated, a set of macros can capture file name and line, etc.

Hi HSE
This is really a good idea. :icon_idea:
I had something similar in mind some time ago, to provide DebugCenter functionality for all masm applications, using a special set of macros.
Using a DLL or (static)LIB for this has some advantages and disadvantages. The big disadvantage is that some compile time information is needed for the actual macros and cannot be precompiled.
Maybe a combination of both will do the trick.
I will add it to my to do list. :thumbsup:
