CD - Compress-Decompress Utility

[Biterider]

Hi
A small contribution. 
Attached is the translation of the compressapi.h file.

Hi fearless
I have a small suggestion: do not specify the segment in the generated asm file. 
Let the user specify the target segment before the assembler file is included. 
This way you have the choice between .data and .const.

Something like adding a checkbox option to use .DATA or .CONST, like this?

Hi fearless
Yes, something like that or let the user write

Code Select Expand

.data
include .\Res\MyCompressedData.asm

That is only a small detail.
Of course, you can edit the file after it has been created, but if you want to automate the tool-chain, that could be a bit tedious.

Updated first post with v1.0.0.2

• Optimized assembler output to speed up process overall and to fix hangs (buffer overflows) for larger files (100K+)
• Added checkbox option to specify .DATA segment or .CONST segment for masm output
• Added Compress Text button and accelerators for it.
• Increased the max text size in the input edit control in the compress text dialog to 256KB
• Uploaded x64 version of CD

(Reached max attachments, so only uploading the two source zips in the first post and just the binary only zips here)

I see - bad luck. I tried to assemble cd.asm but got some errors:

Looks like an issue with the CTEXT macro in those places. For the x64 version I use Uasm64 and have a ctext macro in the windows.inc file (from the WinInc package).

At the end i have a ctext defined as:

Code Select Expand

CTEXT MACRO quoted_text:VARARG
    LOCAL local_text
    .data
    align 8
    local_text db quoted_text,0
    .code
    align 8
    EXITM <offset local_text>
ENDM


[jj2007]

If I insert your CTEXT macro behind the include macros.asm line as follows...

Code Select Expand

include \masm32\macros\macros.asm
CTEXT MACRO quoted_text:VARARG
    LOCAL local_text
    .data
    align 8
    local_text db quoted_text,0
    .code
    align 8
    EXITM <offset local_text>
ENDM
... I get these errors:

I use Uasm64 and have a ctext macro in the windows.inc file (from the WinInc package)

Does that mean you use the UAsm version of Windows.inc? I see include windows.inc in CD.inc - no path supplied, so it relies on the user's PATH variable. OTOH, there is include \masm32\macros\macros.asm in CD.asm, so you are clearly also using (parts of) Masm32 SDK.

[fearless]

Sorry, I probably mixing up the x86 and x64 versions

Yes i use masm32 sdk with the x86 version: ml, linker etc. For the x64 version i use uasm64, wininc.

Code Select Expand

ML.EXE /c /coff /Cp /nologo /I"M:\masm32\include" cd.asm
And i use the macros.asm in the x86 one including the CTEXT one:

Code Select Expand

        CTEXT macro Text
            local szText
            .data
            szText byte Text, 0
            .code
            exitm <offset szText> 
        endm
For the x64 this seems to work from the command line:

Code Select Expand

UASM64.exe /c -win64 -Zp8 /win64 /D_WIN64 /Cp /nologo /W2 /I" M:\UASM\include" cd.asm
And the CTEXT macro is defined in my WinInc windows.inc as:

Code Select Expand

CTEXT MACRO quoted_text:VARARG
    LOCAL local_text
    .data
    align 8
    local_text db quoted_text,0
    .code
    align 8
    EXITM <offset local_text>
ENDM
Im not sure why the CTEXT macro is not working. Only place close to having a conflicting definition is the following structs, which have szText1 - cant remember if its like that by default or if i modified it perhaps?

Code Select Expand

NMTTDISPINFOA STRUCT
  hdr              NMHDR  <>
  lpszText          DWORD  ?
  szText1          BYTE 80 DUP (?)
  union
    hInst          DWORD  ?
    hinst          DWORD  ?
  ends
  uFlags            DWORD  ?
  lParam            DWORD  ?
NMTTDISPINFOA ENDS

NMTTDISPINFOW STRUCT
  hdr              NMHDR  <>
  lpszText          DWORD  ?
  szText1          BYTE 80 DUP (?)
  union
    hInst          DWORD  ?
    hinst          DWORD  ?
  ends
  uFlags            DWORD  ?
  lParam            DWORD  ?
NMTTDISPINFOW ENDS

Interestingly when compiling the x64 version with Uasm64 i did get conflicting definition errors, so in that version i took out the EXTERN lines, which seemed to solve it. I imagine it would be the same if using Uasm to compile the x86 version.

[jj2007]

I could build the x86 version with the attached batch file, plus this modification of line 78:

option casemap:none
include \masm32\macros\macros.asm
include \Masm32\include\debug.inc

[Biterider]

Hi fearless
I tested both binaries successfully on Win10.
