Assembler languages for Linux

[jj2007]

Am I correct there is not a working INVOKE for 64bit (Windows or Linux)?

There is nvk by rrr314159. He has used it on major sources (>10k lines).

Hello James,
Yes, I know your example gtk01. It was my starting point . I compiled it in 64 bit , see attachment below.

Am I correct there is not a working INVOKE for 64bit (Windows or Linux)?

Jwasm doesn't support invoke in 64 bit on Linux . That's why I wrote FCALLTEST macro .
Maybe I should not post yesterday's demos as they are my first steps in using JWASM on linux . Today I attach re-written version of gtk_checkmenu demo . Now it takes advantages of FCALLTEST macro . PROTOs were replaced by EXTERNs . CHECKPOINT macro was added to help us in spotting the problem.
See gtk_checkmenu_checkpoints.zip:
fc.asm - FCALLTEST macro
ISFLOAT?.asm - helper macro
gtk_checkmenu_checkpoints - is compiled with CHECKPOINT macro enabled
gtk_checkmenu - is compiled with CHECKPOINT macro disabled

At some point I was forced to stop further learning GTK development  as I realised that without  floating point arguments support I have poor chances to succeed in it .
Hopefully , with QWORD's help , we will fix this problem and be able to go further.

[EDIT] : added some GTK demos that come with GTK source code
 
Thank you for nice reference . For sure I'll revise the source code of the demos ASAP

Here are my results:

arrow.asm -> seg fault on closing window
aspectframe.asm -> seg fault on closing window
buttonbox.asm -> could not compile: missing fcXMM.asm
gtk01.asm -> OK
base.asm -> OK
buttons.asm -> OK

Thanks , James

buttonbox.asm -> could not compile: missing fcXMM.asm

Just rename it to fc.asm : include fc.asm

arrow.asm -> seg fault on closing window
aspectframe.asm -> seg fault on closing window

These demos have no invoke exit,0
Try this:
aspectframe.asm

_start:
       sub rsp,8
       call main
      invoke exit,0
end   _start

arrow.asm

  ; Rest in gtk_main and wait for the fun to begin!
  call gtk_main   
  invoke exit,0         
end _start   

AS I've already told my OS is totally forgiving . In these 2 cases it only complains :

Illegal instruction

No go! I still get Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Ok I found it.
aspectframe.asm
I added your change plus I changed
    invoke g_signal_connect_data , window, offset destroy, offset gtk_main_quit, NULL
To this
    invoke g_signal_connect_data , window, offset destroy, gtk_main_quit,0,0,0           

James

[GoneFishing]

That's odd
All checkpoints passed. Should be ok
Sorry , I didn't get it - is it  gtk_checkmenu segfaulting or arrow / aspectframe ( or all 3 !) ?

Now aspectframe is ok. What about arrow ?
I'll apply your changes on my side
After changing aspectframe - I get SEGFAULT at closing app
This works for aspectframe and arrow ( plus invoke exit,0 as I wrote ):
  invoke g_signal_connect_data , window, offset destroy, offset gtk_main_quit,0,0,0

I found typo in gtk_checkmenu (lines 179-180 in yesterday's archive):

     xor r9,r9
    xor r8,r8
    xor rcx,rcx
    mov rdx, offset DeleteEvent
    mov rsi, offset szActivate
    mov rdi,[hMenuItem]
    call g_signal_connect_data

   mov rdi,[hMenuItem]
    call g_signal_connect_data

   

Deleted those 2 lines, recompiled, attached

[jcfuller]

I compiled gtk_checkmenu and then ran it. No seg fault.

Fine!
Thanks James
I spotted the same typo in gtk_handlebox . Fixed version attached

[jcfuller]

GoneFishing,
  In case you want to play with 64bit Gtk on Windows:
http://lvserver.ugent.be/gtk-win64/sdk/gtk2-gtk3-sdk-2.24.29-3.18.6-2016-01-27-ts-win64.zip
A full Gtk 2&3 development SDK.
This is what I use on the Windows side to test my new translator.

James

Thanks James,
Somewhere I have old XP box but  use it not so often.
I have  a present for you too ...
https://glade.gnome.org/ GTK WISIWIG (I hope so) editor.
Ther're lots of things to play with ... talking about Linux GUi : QT creator , for example

So... do we have something that's still  crashing ?

Writing this to Gunther as I know he uses YASM or anyone
else so inclined. Running Linux Mint 17.3.
I downloaded yasm-1.3.0.tar.gz which I assume is for 64-bit
and the Linux mint os.
Unzipped it into /home/jack/yasmfld and extracted it there.
clicked on yasm-1.3.0 and got into the terminal and ran 'make'.
It ran fine. ' Make install'  however had the following errors:
cannot create regular file '/usr/local/bin/yasm:
permission denied'. Got errors 1 &  2

I think this is caused by me putting yasm-1.3.0.tar.gz
in to wrong place. However I don't know how to put it into
/usr/local/bin/yasm in Linux Mint.

Gave up on NASM - documentation is terrible to non existent
or erroneous....

This issue is because you can run make as a normal user, but you need administrative (root) access to the filesystem to install things to /usr/local/bin. Run the make install command as root, or through the sudo command if you have sudoer's support.

Terrible? I've never had issue with it, that's each person has their own opinions...
Non existent? Absolutely not. NASM Documentation
Erroneous? If you have any examples of that, I'd be interested. Open source projects are great like that, if there is an error, there is almost always someone willing to fix the problem.

I stand corrected sbk.
Since I am such novice with Linux I should keep
my mouth shut. Sorry.
I saw nothing to tell me I had to run 'make install'
as root. Will do.

Mint, unlike Puppy, does not run as root.

Look for files with a sh extension.

They are scripts that are useful for installations, etc.

Scripts are like batch files, but are much more powerful.

You are doing great with Linux.

It's a learning curve as with most everything. :-)
