main.asm

.data?
example dd ?

module1.asm

.code
mov example,100

Re: Public Variable

It depends on the order you include files. Look at one of my templates.

Re: Public Variable

But, whenever I try to assemble the modules, it spits back that 'example' is undefined when assembling Module2.asm.

I tried using "PUBLIC example" before declaring example in Module1.asm, but with no luck. Here's an example of what I tried.

Module1.asm

.586
model flat, stdcall
option casemap :none

include Module1.inc

.data
example db "I'm public!",0

.code
entry:
   invoke Module2
   invoke ExitProcess,0
END entry

Module2.asm

.586
.model flat, stdcall  ; 32 bit memory model
option casemap :none  ; case sensitive

include windows.inc
include user32.inc
inlcudelib user32.lib

.code

Module2 proc
	invoke MessageBox,NULL,addr example,NULL,MB_OK
	ret

Module2 endp

end

Module1.inc

include windows.inc
include kernel32.inc
includelib kernel32.lib

Module2 PROTO

Re: Public Variable

Try this:


.586
.model flat, stdcall  ; 32 bit memory model
option casemap :none  ; case sensitive

include windows.inc
include user32.inc
includelib user32.lib

EXTERNDEF example:byte

.code


Module2 proc
invoke MessageBox,NULL,addr example,NULL,MB_OK
ret

Module2 endp

end

...proc for function prototypes, EXTERDEF for external data :)

Re: Public Variable

Thanks!!?

That was all good, but when I defined "EXTERNDEF example:BYTE" in Module2.asm and tried to assemble the modules, it spit out "unresolved external symbol _example".?

So in Module1.asm I defined "PUBLIC example" as well, and it worked perfectly.

Here's the working code.

Module1.asm

.586
model flat, stdcall
option casemap :none

include Module1.inc

.data
PUBLIC example
example db "I'm public!",0

.code
entry:
? ?invoke Module2
? ?invoke ExitProcess,0
END entry

Module2.asm

.586
.model flat, stdcall? ; 32 bit memory model
option casemap :none? ; case sensitive

include windows.inc
include user32.inc
inlcudelib user32.lib

EXTERNDEF example:BYTE

.code

Module2 proc
	invoke MessageBox,NULL,addr example,NULL,MB_OK
	ret

Module2 endp

end

Module1.inc

include windows.inc
include kernel32.inc
includelib kernel32.lib

Module2 PROTO
