GetModuleHandle source?
Hi I'm trying to understand the inner workings of the getmodulehandle api....this is the code i have got so far it just gets any help understanding this would be good.
written in fasm. 





        cmp [ModuleName],0x0        ; check if Modulename null

        jne NotCallingProc



CallingProc:

        mov eax,[fs:0x18]                ; im not sure about this

        mov eax,[eax+0x30]            ; and this

        mov eax,[eax+0x8]              ; and this

        jmp ExitGetModuleHandleX


thanks :)

the fs selector holds a structure with windows internal data.
You can find a short description in this thread

aside for curiosity, you shouldn't be messing with this stuff. if you start depending on any of it, your apps will break.

Here's Matt Pietrek's article about the TIB/TEB, which fs points to http://www.microsoft.com/msj/defaulttop.asp?page=/msj/archive/S2CE.htm

code your own version of getmodulehandle... but then you *are* going to mess around with those values. getmodulehandle is one of those things that aren't safe to implement yourself.

but this is code i got from the kernel32.dll on a win2k system surely it should work

keyoke. you can't just rip a piece of code from kernel32 (or whereever) and expect
it to work across multiple windows versions. Especially a thing like GetModuleHandle
that will have to refer to internal tables, or end up in native calls. forget it.
