GetLastError error codes description (first 34 only)

[felipe]

Here is a more useful implementation of what i was doing before. .asm and .exe attached.  :icon14:

[sinsi]

For some error messages containing e.g. %1 you must supply an argument or use FORMAT_MESSAGE_IGNORE_INSERTS.
Leaving Arguments as a null pointer gives you a "parameter incorrect" error.

[felipe]

But i didn't have any error here (windows 8.1)...Did you have this error in windows 10?

[felipe]

Also, i think what are you saying it may be applicable to only those specific cases? (where the error messages contains this kind of formatting characters %1, etc). I think that in the case of the error messages retrieved from GetLastError, there are none of this formating characters, as can be appreciated here:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/debug/system-error-codes--0-499-

Is this correct sinsi or you mean another issue?

[sinsi]

Change one line to "mov         count,35" and try 

[felipe]

No, that error happens because (extrangenly) the windows error codes (check the link above) jump from 34 to 36, then 38, 39 then 50, 51...

That's the reason why i chose to show (for now) only the first 34  :P

Error 34 (decimal)
"The wrong diskette is in the drive.
Insert %2 (Volume Serial Number: %3) into drive %1."

Check the result of FormatMessage, EAX has the count of characters. If EAX is 0 then an error occurred (or the error code isn't one the system recognises).

Wow, and everything with push & pop, no invoke :t

Here's one that goes up to code 39, pure Masm32:

Code Select Expand

include \masm32\include\masm32rt.inc
.code
start:
  xor ebx, ebx
  .Repeat
print str$(ebx), 9
invoke SetLastError, ebx
print LastError$()
inc ebx
  .Until ebx>39
  inkey "pure Masm32!!"
  exit
end start

[aw27]

As mentioned by sinsi if "If the function succeeds, the return value is the number of TCHARs stored in the output buffer, excluding the terminating null character". So, you can remove this code:

Code Select Expand


align 4
nextchar:
            inc         edx                   ; Count number of bytes of the string.
            cmp         byte ptr[ecx],0       ; Scan the whole string.
            je          lenghtready

            inc         ecx                   ; Next char.
            jmp         nextchar


Also you must use FORMAT_MESSAGE_IGNORE_INSERTS whenever you are not in control of the message. If you do that you can post any number of error messages, not only 34.

The code in the purest MASM32 insists that a few errors have the same message (they don't) or issue wrong messages (error 34 is not that as mentioned multiple times here):

Error 34 (decimal)
"The wrong diskette is in the drive.
Insert %2 (Volume Serial Number: %3) into drive %1."

Check the result of FormatMessage, EAX has the count of characters. If EAX is 0 then an error occurred (or the error code isn't one the system recognises).

You are absolutely right sinsi... :icon14: Also as AW pointed...I wonder why i didn't see that instead of figuring out how to get the length of the buffer to display the description of the error... :redface: Ok, when i can write a window with scrolling capability i will use eax (the return value of FormatMessage and the flag FORMAT_MESSAGE_IGNORE_INSERTS)... ;)

jj thanks, but i have to confess, this time (probably because before starting to code the program yesterday i changed the color of the font and background of qeditor...i thought it will be a good idea... ::)) i was fighting with an untraceable bug for 2 hours approx...  When i was turning really crazy i found it:

Code Select Expand


            push        errcount
            push        offset errnumber
            push        offset numerrbuf
            call        wsprintf              ; Write the first column (error code numbers.)

            add         esp,12

            push        eax                   ; Lenght of the string.
            push        offset numerrbuf
            push        vertical
            push        horizontal
            push        hdc
            push        TextOut


PUSH TextOut!!!!!!!!!!... probably proto and invoke will had helped me with that one... :icon_mrgreen:

[felipe]

Here it's a corrected version. i.e. using the return value from FormatMessage to check for valid error codes and to show only descriptions for those ones. Also this return value, in the cases of correct error codes, is used to specify the length of the description string to TextOut... :icon14:

The program now will need to be able to scroll the window (client area actually ) horizontally and vertically... :idea:
Hopefully doesn't take me a year to incorporate this functionality... :redface:

.exe and .asm attached... :t

[felipe]

Oh, and also FORMAT_MESSAGE_IGNORE_INSERTS is used to avoid the mentioned problems above... :idea:
