HJWasm

[habran]

Hi folks,

I'd like to introduce here JWasm hybrid I renamed to HJWasm
There are some new feature built in:
2 new flugs EQUAL and BELOW,
which can be handy with UCOMISS, UCOMISD, VUCOMISS, VUCOMISD instructions
4 new AVX2 instructions: VPGATHERDD, VPGATHERQD, VPGATHERDQ, VPGATHERQQ
added also VCMPxxPD, VCMPxxPS, VCMPxxSD, VCMPxxPD, VCMPxxSS
I have added in this version data definition directive 'DO' data for XMMWORD, 'DY' data for YMMWORD and 'DZ' for ZMMWORD

you have to change in your sources and includes  (windows.inc line 12948 )dy to _dy
however I would prefer dx_ and dy_

MOUSEINPUT STRUCT
   _dx                    DWORD ?
   _dy                    DWORD ?    ;windows.inc line 12948
   mouseData         DWORD ?
   dwFlags              DWORD ?
   time                   DWORD ?
   dwExtraInfo        DWORD ?
MOUSEINPUT ENDS


I have included a source code with examples how they could be used
included also the HJWasm targets for the Visual Studio

This is still in development so please let me know if you encounter some bugs

[Gunther]

Hi Habran,

great job. Is that the newest version? Should I use this version for compiling to other OS?

Gunther

[habran]

Thanks Gunther

This is a new version, I don't know if you can use it without sources for other OS-es

I will post sources after little bit of testing

[HSE]

Hi habran!

I take the 32. There is some problems with ObjAsm32 that don't exist before. Surely Biterider understand better what happen.

Have You modified the nesting limits?

Perhaps in the logo you can show that it's de 32 version. HSE

[habran]

Hi HSE,
I have built here special for you 32 bit version with 80 level macro nesting,
however, I don't take responsibility if something goes wrong

I have added in this version data definition directive 'DY' data for YMMWORD

you have to change in your sources and windows.inc line 12948 dy to _dy

MOUSEINPUT STRUCT
   _dx                    DWORD ?
   _dy                    DWORD ?    ;windows.inc line 12948
   mouseData         DWORD ?
   dwFlags              DWORD ?
   time                   DWORD ?
   dwExtraInfo        DWORD ?
MOUSEINPUT ENDS

[habran]

Hey hutch,

Could it be possible to change _dx to dx_  and dy to dy_ in windows.inc
this is because of having data definition directive 'DY' data for YMMWORD

mov eax, [ecx].MOUSEINPUT.dx_
looks beter than
mov eax, [ecx].MOUSEINPUT._dx

for the reason
MOUSEINPUT STRUCT
   dx_                    DWORD ?
   dy_                    DWORD ?    ;windows.inc line 12948
   mouseData         DWORD ?
   dwFlags              DWORD ?
   time                   DWORD ?
   dwExtraInfo        DWORD ?
MOUSEINPUT ENDS

it is defined in winuser.inc

as well as in HELPWININFOA, HELPWININFOW, MDICREATESTRUCTA, MDICREATESTRUCTW, NMLVSCROLL

[HSE]

There is another in line 19071  of Windows.inc:

NMLVSCROLL STRUCT
   hdr                    NMHDR <>
   _dx                    DWORD ?
   _dy                     DWORD ?
NMLVSCROLL ENDS


There is a .for macro in ObjAsm32

[HSE]

Thanks habran for the experiment!

But nothing change. I have used the little test writed by rrr, and results are exactly the same: only 39 works. 

Viewing in your code, the same error is emitted when MAX_MACRO_NESTING,  MAX_SEG_NESTING,  MAX_IF_NESTING or MAX_RSP_NESTING are exceded. Perhaps it's posible a different message for a different error.

[habran]

I'll investigate if there is a good reason to limit it to 40 levels and report it here 8)

[habran]

As it can be seen below other definitions are connected to the MAX_MACRO_NESTING

Don't forget the test I wrote might be limited by the IF / ENDIF not the macros, when I get around to it I can do one without IF / ENDIF

[habran]

Thanks rrr314159 :t

[rrr314159]

To remove all doubts about nesting I made this program, CreateNestedMacros.asm which creates a new file "NestedMacros.asm" with the requested number (levels) of nested macros. Then you compile this created asm file to see if the levels go that deep. It's possible to skip the intermediate file creation, by using macros to create the nested macros, but then it's hard (impossible?) to be sure just how many levels there are.

With JWasm64 it goes only to 20, blows up at 21. I don't know why my previous tester, which uses an IF / ENDIF construction, apparently can go twice as deep. But this program seems more authoritative. I also don't know why it seems to disagree with the JWasm setting at 40. You can also use this technique with ML, ML64, and JWasm 32-bit, they all give the same answer. Just modify this version appropriately. (Of course you'll have to modify the paths in the Compile batch files anyway).

The whole procedure is complicated enough that I threw in this instructions.txt:

Purpose is to test how many levels deep Macro calls can go.

This is more complicated than it should be: 3 steps:

1) At top of CreateNestedMacros.asm set numberNestedMacrostoTest

2) at Command line run CreateNestedMacros.bat

3) then run CompileNestedMacros.bat

... you will see message "Nested Levels: --". If it's 0 you'll also see the error message, Error A2101: Macro nesting level too deep. Else it will be the number you entered (numberNestedMacrostoTest).

Sample run: (with 20 levels requested)

C:\NestedMacros>CreateNestedMacros

C:\NestedMacros>CompileNestedMacros
Nested Levels: 20
NestedMacros.asm: 94 lines, 2 passes, 0 ms, 0 warnings, 0 errors

Here's created "NestedMacros.asm" for 20 levels:

The zip contains:

CreateNestedMacros.asm: creates NestedMacros.asm
NestedMacros.asm: a sample with 20 levels
CreateNestedMacros.bat: does what it says
CompileNestedMacros.bat: ditto (modify JWasm path here and next batch file)
CompileCreateNestedMacros.bat: this is run by CreateNestedMacros.bat. Seems clumsy but appears to be the simplest way to accomplish the objective
instructions.txt: as above

hope it's useful

[edit] of course if you just want to test 20 and 21 levels it's no trouble. Just compile the above NestedMacros.asm - see that it works - then it's very simple to add one more level (SumMacro19) and see that it doesn't.

It turns out that the "EXITM" counts as one macro, that's why the above only goes to 20 levels. Here's a new version which goes to 40 levels, and blows up at 41, like it should.

This does 40, to try 41 just change the line near the bottom "SumMacro38 38" to "SumMacro39 39".

Here's the prog used to create the above, in case you ever want to test 256! Use the same .bat files and the same instructions as in the previous prog using EXITM.
