Macro help

[cozofdeath]

I've successfully integrated the zlib library/headers into my project however their is a set of macros left yet to convert to usable MASM code. I was wondering if maybe someone could help me out. Below are two of the five that have been converted from C code to Masm but don't work.

Code Select Expand

deflateInit MACRO strm,level
EXITM <deflateInit_ ( ( strm ) , ( level ) , ZLIB_VERSION , sizez_stream ) >
ENDM

inflateInit MACRO strm
EXITM <inflateInit_,strm, ZLIB_VERSION, z_stream>
ENDM

They were converted from their C counter parts below ...

Code Select Expand

#define deflateInit(strm, level) \
        deflateInit_((strm), (level),       ZLIB_VERSION, sizeof(z_stream))

#define inflateInit(strm) \
        inflateInit_((strm),ZLIB_VERSION, sizeof(z_stream))

Thanks for any help.

if deflateInit_ is a function, then it could be:

Code Select Expand

deflateInit MACRO strm,level
EXITM rv(deflateInit_ , strm , level , ZLIB_VERSION , sizez_stream )
ENDM
rv() is a macro, which can be found in macros.asm (MASM32 SDK).

If deflateInit is a macro, then remove the angle brackets from the call

They should work in this way:
invoke deflateInit(firstArg, secondArg)

invoke inflateInit(Arg)

Thanks qWord for the macro. I do have the macros.asm file included and I've tried the rv, rvc, and fnc macros from it but all result in errors. I've tried every combination of things I would think would work and I always get an error. deflateInit_ is a C style function. I can call it fine outside this macro with all of it's arguments but in the macro it always fails. Your idea makes sense but it still won't compile.

Thanks Greenhorn for the comment. I don't think you can invoke a macro can you? When it didn't work that was what I figured but I'm not a MASM expert just a beginner. Again thanks guys for the comments. Any more ideas or should I just abandon these "easier to use" macros zlib has lol.

Instead of leaving us to guess at what the problems might be from vague descriptions and small snippets of code, try posting the relevant parts of your assembly code, along with the relevant parts of the translated header files.

[cozofdeath]

Ok, I'll try to post some more info.

To just focus on the inflateInit macros and its relevant code here is the inflateInit_ prototype that the inflateInit macro uses.

Code Select Expand

inflateInit_ PROTO C :z_stream, :DWORD, :DWORD

Here is the z_stream structure:

Code Select Expand

z_stream STRUCT
next_in DWORD ? /* next input byte */
avail_in DWORD ?        /* number of bytes available at next_in */
total_in DWORD ?        /* total nb of input bytes read so far */
next_out DWORD ?       /* next output byte should be put there */
avail_out DWORD ?       /* remaining free space at next_out */
total_out DWORD ?        /* total nb of bytes output so far */
msg DWORD ? /* last error message, NULL IF no error */
state internal_state <>        /* not visible by applications */
zalloc DWORD ? /* used to allocate the internal state */
zfree DWORD ? /* used to free the internal state */
opaque DWORD ? /* private data object passed to zalloc and zfree */
data_type DWORD ? /* best guess about the data type: ascii or binary */
adler DWORD ? /* adler32 value of the uncompressed data */
reserved DWORD ? /* reserved for future use */
z_stream ENDS

Here is the defined ZLIB_VERSION   constant.

Code Select Expand

ZLIB_VERSION EQU <"1.2.1">


That's really all there is other than calling the macro. It's just an initialization macro so it doesn't really need any data. It just uses the structure passed for values the actual worker functions will fill and it checks the version to make sure its the correct library and then the size of the structure. Here are both the header files that I'm working with. I'm sure there are more issues as I've yet to really get into using them.

Thank you guys for any help and any constructive criticism will help.

[Greenhorn]

Your function declaration is wrong.
It must be:

inflateInit_          PROTO C :ptr z_stream, :DWORD, :DWORD

and then call it as I mentioned:

; declaration for your struct in code, e.g. in a local variable:
LOCAL zstr:z_stream

; call the function via macro
invoke inflateInit(addr zstr)

[cozofdeath]

Perfect Greenhorn! :t That was it. I didn't even know you could use a macro like that (or nest them like this) with invoke but hey it's working. The only question I have is why the ptr in the PROTO. In a debugger it does the same thing as not leaving it there so I'm guessing it's for type checking or something?

[Greenhorn]

I didn't even know you could use a macro like that (or nest them like this) with invoke but hey it's working.

This is because macros are expanded at first of all. If you take a look at your listing file (command line switch /Sg) you'll see the generated code.

The only question I have is why the ptr in the PROTO. In a debugger it does the same thing as not leaving it there so I'm guessing it's for type checking or something?

You could also write inflateInit_  PROTO C :DWORD, :DWORD, :DWORD but to keep it compatible with 64bit asm it's better to declare it in the other way. And yes, if your assembler supports type checking it's a little bit safer.
Another way were to declare the proto like this: inflateInit_  PROTO C :z_streamp, :DWORD, :DWORD because you made a typedef in your include file.
