HJWasm 2.28 release

[johnsa]

Hi,

Update available on the site and Git.

Changes:

1) (Just for AW27 ;) ) Added Delphi 32bit fastcall as a language type, so you can use PROC DELPHI etc..
2) Improved linux System V invoke.
3) Renamed some OO stuff in the macro library to avoid conflicts (documentation updated)
4) Added a new option for OPTION PROC:  .. it can now take the following:

Code Select Expand



OPTION PROC:NONE
OPTION PROC:DEFAULT
OPTION PROC:MyPrologue,MyEpilogue



Which do what you'd expect, the first two are just short-hands to switch off/on the prologue epilogue via option prologue, option epilogue and same goes for the 3rd form which just allows you to specify both macros in one go.

Cheers,
John

That is very nice!  :t

I found an important small problem, registers edx and ecx are swapped.

Perfect for my sources, John :t

Speed has increased a bit, especially for the 64-bit version, which is now only 10% slower than AsmC.

If I had one wish free, it would be a console print flush after each module of a library has finished. Both ML 6.15 and AsmC do it that way - kind of a progress indicator. HJWasm starts assembling and remains silent for two seconds, then suddenly throws out all results in one go. Probably just a matter of taste, though.

[aw27]

"Under the register convention, up to three parameters are passed in CPU registers, and the rest (if any) are passed on the stack. The parameters are passed in order of declaration (as with the pascal convention), and the first three parameters that qualify are passed in the EAX, EDX, and ECX registers, in that order. Real, method-pointer, variant, Int64, and structured types do not qualify as register parameters, but all other parameters do. If more than three parameters qualify as register parameters, the first three are passed in EAX, EDX, and ECX, and the remaining parameters are pushed onto the stack in order of declaration."

So, when I have a function in Delphi declared like this:
function proc2(val1:single; val2:integer; val3:integer; val4:integer):single; register; external;

As is now, in ASM I would have to declare it like this:
proc2 proc public Val2:dword, Val3:dword, Val4:dword, Val1:real4
and not like this:
proc2 proc public Val1:real4, Val2:dword, Val3:dword, Val4:dword
because the compiler does not see Val1 does not qualify to come in a register.

On it :)

So we should flush output after each processed file, IE: on returning from an included source file, flush any console output relating to that file then continue ?

Yes, that is the idea. Not relevant for single file assembly, but when you have 30 modules, it just flows better. Switching the behaviour with a commandline option (-flush) would be fine, too. Don't invest real time, though, it's really minor cosmetics ;-)

Here is a simple example with DELPHI, tell me where is somthing wrong:

It is wrong, Delphi calls like this:
push dword ptr [ebp-$10] ; in your demo change to "push dword ptr [00ED4000h]"
push $3f99999a
mov edx,$00000004
mov eax,$00000003
call proc2

Your code wants to send reals in CPU registers. In CPU registers you can only send dwords, words, bytes, or their signed equivalents and pointers (except pointers to class methods (functions), called method pointers).

Most of the other data types default to be sent by reference - so you receive a pointer to them, which can be placed in a CPU register as well. However, reals and big integers (int64, uint64) are always pushed on the stack (unless you force them to be sent them by reference).

So watch for reals and big integers and you shall be good.

I know, what I mean is that in the Delphi API they are not sent.
I don't remember any API (Intel chips) that sends or receives floats in general purpose registers, but my memory fails many times.

Thanks JJ for support

aw27, this looks perfectly legal and natural as well as faster then pushing on the stack:

    32:     invoke proc2 ,myreal, 1.2, 3, 4
00ED104F A1 00 40 ED 00       mov         eax,dword ptr ds:[00ED4000h] 
00ED1054 BA 9A 99 99 3F       mov         edx,3F99999Ah 
00ED1059 B9 03 00 00 00       mov         ecx,3 
00ED105E 6A 04                     push        4 
00ED1060 E8 D5 FF FF FF        call        proc2 (0ED103Ah)

however, if you insist we can make it the way as it is done in embarcadero delphi, even though that will require much more work.
It'll also require some more time to be done.
