I'm just picking up the stuff I started some days ago and need to compare each string in a char**.
I saw this example re string comparison...thanks for it.
http://masm32.com/board/index.php?topic=1375.15
Proc FastStringCompare:
Arguments @String1, @String2
Uses esi, ecx, ebx, edx
mov esi D@String1
mov ebx D@String2
I've seen "Uses" in help but can't find "Arguments"
Also, I don't know what "@" as in "@String1" or "D@" as in "mov esi D@String1" means.
Any advice much appreciated.
that syntax looks like it's for some assembler other than masm
MyFunc PROC USES EBX ESI EDI arg1:LPSTR,arg2:LPSTR
mov esi,arg1
mov edi,arg2
;
;
;
ret
MyFunc ENDP
masm generates a prologue and epilogue that sets up the stack frame and balances the stack on exit
with USES, it also preserves the registers in the list (no commas)
although, i am not fond of the order it does things
i sometimes write my own stack frame prologue and epilogue to get the order i prefer :P
that certainly explains my difficulty...
I'll look into prologue and epilogue...
thank you very much for your explanation
