Can not assemble RadASM addins

[WillASM]

Recently decided to get back into assembly after being away from it for several years. After getting my environment setup and every thing working as expected I decided to work on some RadASM v3 addins. That is where I ran into a problem. For example, I'll use RadFavs addin by Edgar. When I assemble the code I get the following error.

GoAsm /c /x86 "RadFavs.Asm"

Could not get size of structure/union:-
add eax,ADDINDATA.szAppPath
  In the struct at Line 524 of the include file Radasm\AddIns.h

OBJ file not made

Error(s) occured.


However, if I use an earlier version of GoASM, v0.58.6 is the last previous version I still have on my hard drive, it assembles without issue.

Make done.


I suspect it is the struct WINSIZE in ADDINDATA on line 528 as I can not find a definition for it in any header file, including the masm version Addins.inc.

winres WINSIZE


I'm curious to know if anyone here has any versions of GoASM after v0.58.6 that I could try. I'd like to narrow it down to the version that first started giving this error. Note that ml.exe does not seem to have any issue with this definition as it is defined in Addins.inc. Any suggestions would be appreciated as I would like to use the updated version of GoASM.

Thanks.

Not really sure what is going on here but there definitely is a problem with Goasm's memory addressing.

If I run this code...

The offset of 83504 I was able to calculate using masm and that gives me the expected string, but using `add     eax,ADDINDATA.szHelpF1` ends up pointing to the wrong memory address as you can see from the memory dump. Note that this is using v0.56.8 which I thought was working because it correctly calculates several of the offsets but it seems the further into the ADDINDATA struct I address the more unpredictable it becomes. Ii fact it starts to give me the same error past ADDINDATA.find.

For this particular case I can just define a table with all the correct offsets but that is not a solution to the problem. I hope this can get fixed as I would hate to switch assemblers now. Goasm syntax is just far more preferable to me!

I'm not a GoAsm user, but are you sure that eax is still intact after a PrintStringByAddr?

[wjr]

GoAsm v0.57.04 is where that Error starts to occur, but that version has a variety of bug fixes for structure/union SIZEOF and offsets to members, as you have noticed with issues in an earlier version, so you should be using the latest version.

You were getting close with the FIND structure. A bit tricky tracing through with nested structures, but It would appear that things go astray with CHARRANGE and FINDTEXTEX not being defined. If in RadFavs.h after windows.h you put #include "richedit.h" then I get no Error.

[WillASM]

Thanks for the replies, they have been helpful.

@jj2007 I'm using the VKIM debug macros so I know all the registers are being preserved but a good suggestion though.

Including "richedit.h" indeed solved the error issue and I'm now using Goasm v0.62.0.0 for these tests but I am still getting the incorrect results.
Note: To clarify, this is the output from 2 different addins for RadASM, the first is written using Masm, the second with Goasm.

Here is the output produced by both addins... (Added more descriptive text to describe the output)

As you can see from the memory dumps, I'm still getting the wrong memory pointer. I believe I have accounted for all the nested structures. Any other suggestions?

[WillASM]

I have now tried every version of Edgars headers that I can find, including older versions I had archived with the same result. What I have concluded is the version on https://www.godevtool.com/#headers appears to be the last one made available although it, and every other version I can find online, has an outdated "Addins.h file. The version I have has the definitions...

These were added to RadASM v3 by Ketil in a later version. I assume I downloaded the updated 'Addins.h' from the old board as I can no longer find it online anywhere.
Note: I have also tried assembling with the old 'Addins.h' file with the same results.

I'm attaching the updated version here to make it available to everyone...

Edit: I am also using "#define INCLUDEALL" in my include file to eliminate the possibility of a missing header.

[WillASM]

Forgot to mention, by using "#define INCLUDEALL" I did find a couple of minor bugs in the headers.

In 'windows.h' starting at line 1300 the reference to 'RadAsm.h' needs to be commented out (All Radasm files were moved into the folder 'Radasm').

; #IFNDEF RADASM_H
; #include "RadAsm.h"

And in "ShObjIdl.h" at line 132 the #ENDIF needs to be uncommented

[WillASM]

Well ended up going back to using Goasm v0.56.8

When I tried to assemble my new RadASM addin, "Auto Brackets", which is uploaded in the radasm sub forum, Goasm v0.62.0 gets confused with the references to the 2 CHARRANGE struct's I'm using to manipulate the edit windows text. Spent a half hour trying to figure out why my text range selections were incorrect. The older version 0.56.8 does not have any problem with those 2 CHARRANGE structures and I get the correct ranges selected. It still has a problem with the ADDINDATA struct if I try to read to far into it, but I can just add the calculated offset if I need to access any of those items.

[wjr]

I have looked at the detailed GoAsm member offsets of ADDINDATA and do not see anything wrong with them.

Just a reminder that the add instruction above is adding the offset to eax, so eax needs to be first loaded with the address pointing to the start of the structure. In your MASM output you use edx as offset to szHelpF1, so perhaps a wrong register there? The decimal difference of 83504 for the offset doesn't make sense as I get a structure size of 76616. Maybe check your MASM value for MAX_PATH?

If each CHARRANGE structure has its own label or member name there shouldn't be an issue in addressing them.

[WillASM]

yes my example needs to cleaned up, will do that after supper. Are you using the most recent version of "Addins.inc" for masm and the "Addins.h" for goasm I posted above? The ADDINDATA struct is not the same size in all versions of both. An easy check is to see if the following definitions are in the include files as these were added by Ketil in a later version of Radasm3...

After a closer look add the "Addns.inc" for masm I noticed that the "Addins.h" is missing a definition. I need to look for more missing data.

AIM_ACTIVATE


I'll attach the "Addns.inc" file for masm. This is taken straight from the source code for Radasm3.

I have updated the goasm version of "Addins.h" to match the masm version and am attaching here.
There were a few items missing, mostly just menu ID's though.

Edit: Replaced the "Addins.h" download with fixed version with the correct sized 'make' definition in ADDINDATA structure.

[WillASM]

Ok here is another attempt here. Removed the masm test as it was giving me incorrect data. Probably just because I never use masm, that and I have never really tested the vkim debug macros for masm.

Any how, here is my test code picking a few selected strings data from the ADDINDATA structure. Pretty straight forward use of the debug macros...

I'm at a loss here as to why it starts out fine but eventual stops working correctly...
If anyone can help I would appreciate it..

[wjr]

The output does look identical, so I recommend just using v0.62.0.0. I tried building AutoBrackets and got the ADDINDATA error again. When using ADDINDATA.membername GoAsm can get this offset but apparently doesn't give as detailed an error message if something goes wrong since you are not actually creating an instance of that structure. If you build with a temporary "Try ADDINDATA" in a data section, this gives a more specific error message with a TOOLINFO issue, and "commctrl.h" was commented out in the AutoBrackets include file.

I didn't see the INC file before, and didn't get very far trying to play around with MASM or UASM to generate a structure member offset list (like I did in the attached with creative use of the GoAsm list file output). The translation from INC to GoAsm H looks fine, and the offsets to the members you are referring to look correct. I don't think it stops working, it is just that some of those fields haven't been updated with strings. In the case of szMruFiles, your memory dump may only show the first 64 bytes of MAX_PATH for the first file, with the second file starting MAX_PATH bytes after that, etc., given that the member size is 10*MAX_PATH.

[WillASM]

Decided to do a rather large memory dump of the contents of ADDINDATA structure.
It's too large to post here but does not have any content past the "make" entry in the structure, just zeros beyond that.

Got masm debug macros working correctly now, here is the code...

Note that I am getting the files from szMruFiles.

[WillASM]

The output does look identical, so I recommend just using v0.62.0.0. I tried building AutoBrackets and got the ADDINDATA error again. When using ADDINDATA.membername GoAsm can get this offset but apparently doesn't give as detailed an error message if something goes wrong since you are not actually creating an instance of that structure. If you build with a temporary "Try ADDINDATA" in a data section, this gives a more specific error message with a TOOLINFO issue, and "commctrl.h" was commented out in the AutoBrackets include file.

I didn't see the INC file before, and didn't get very far trying to play around with MASM or UASM to generate a structure member offset list (like I did in the attached with creative use of the GoAsm list file output).

In the case of szMruFiles, your memory dump may only show the first 64 bytes of MAX_PATH for the first file, with the second file starting MAX_PATH bytes after that, etc., given that the member size is 10*MAX_PATH.

Thanks for the list file, it is very helpful. The "commctrl.h" is a leftover from my template and is not required, just forgot to remove it.
I'll take a closer look at your list file and try your suggestion with the build with a temporary "Try ADDINDATA" in a data section.
Thanks for taking the time to help, very appreciated.

Edit: Actually "commctrl.h" is required at least for v0.62.0. Oddly it is not required for the older version? It is now assembling without issue with v0.62.0 (No Errors) and more importantly it is not creating the strange behavior I was seeing earlier with my CHARRANGE structs! Not sure what I changed but I'm not arguing with it.
