ASM Community

I have added what I could find and it is testing OK at the moment. Version 125b.

minor28,

If you have found a problem, please document what has happened, the link to a non specified problem building code in RasAsm is not much use to me.

Hi Hutch

The reserved word CONST has been used to define a data type, just remove line 109 CONST typedef DWORD of the WINDOWS.INC file and all will be fine. I also had another error based on data types PHANDLE broke almost all of my code, the problem was repaired on my end. Other than that no problems yet, though I haven't run the hell out of any of my programs yet.

Although this problem does not appear in your new file it should be noted that PAUSE is now a reserved word in ML.EXE 6.15 and cannot be used in any structures or definitions, just something to keep in mind.

Hi, Steve!

I've dowloaded windows.inc long ago but forgotten to update it ;)
And i've done it only tomorrow.
But when i recompiled some of my Kernel Mode Drivers, i discovered, that every time i run any of it, BSOD (Blue Screen Of Death) appears :( Since only i have changed is windows.inc (i used it in kmd sources) i quickly found cause of trouble:

BOOLEAN typedef DWORD

And it's wrong as far as i know.
Was defined previously (in windows.inc v. 1.25a) as:

BOOLEAN typedef BYTE

And it's correct, IMHO.

So, to prove it to myself, i fired up msvc 6.0 and compiled this piece of code:

TAPE_GET_DRIVE_PARAMETERS tgdp;



tgdp.ECC = FALSE;

tgdp.Compression = TRUE;

tgdp.DataPadding = FALSE;

tgdp.ReportSetmarks = TRUE;

tgdp.DefaultBlockSize = sizeof TAPE_GET_DRIVE_PARAMETERS;	// some size check

Disassembly of above:

.text:00401006         mov     [color=red]byte[/color]_408920, 0

.text:0040100D         mov     [color=red]byte[/color]_408921, 1

.text:00401014         mov     [color=red]byte[/color]_408922, 0

.text:0040101B         mov     [color=red]byte[/color]_408923, 1

.text:00401022         mov     dword_408924, 20h

TAPE_GET_DRIVE_PARAMETERS defined in windows.inc like this:

TAPE_GET_DRIVE_PARAMETERS STRUCT

    ECC			BOOLEAN	?

    Compression		BOOLEAN	?

    DataPadding		BOOLEAN	?

    ReportSetmarks	BOOLEAN	?

    DefaultBlockSize	dd		?

        . . . .

TAPE_GET_DRIVE_PARAMETERS ENDS

And its sizeof = 20h for v1.25a but 2Ch for v1.25b!
