flat assembler 1.43

Finally ELF output support has been added and version 1.43 is officially released. The addresses are unchanged:
http://fasm.sourceforge.net/
http://fasm.metro-nt.pl/

Linux examples seem to be working, altough I didn't have enough time to make some X/GNOME examples, will add it later (or maybe someone will write some earlier). Also syntax of the "public" and "extrn" directives has been extended for both COFF and ELF object outputs, now you can do things like (look in the MSCOFF example):



extrn '__imp__MessageBoxA@16' as MessageBox:dword

public _heap as 'HEAP'

And one more nice thing added: macroinstructions now accept argument containing commas when they're enclosed between "<" and ">". So now it's possible:



struc POINT x,y

 {

  .x dd x

  .y dd y

 }



struc LINE start,end

 {

  .start POINT start

  .end POINT end

 }



line0 LINE <0,0>,<639,479>

And it makes also easier to provide resource macros with complex strings.

W!I!E! '
(Quick test in Windows checks out, I'll reboot to linux soon and test the Linux version)

btw, http://fasm.sourceforge.net/ still shows ver 1.42, but http://fasm.metro-nt.pl/
shows 1.43. But you can fix it tomorrow and get some sleep now. :)

' =short for Wonderfull! Incredible! Exelent!, or a german word with a few meanings...

Just noticed that he uppdated http://fasm.sourceforge.net/, does he ever sleep? ;)
Just tested fasm under linux, works flawless...

Once again, FASM rulez! ;)

Just a little question...: Have you started the programming of the debugger? (If you have, when will it be released a version including that?)

Hi Privalov!

I don't know if you saw my question or not, but can you please answere it - have you done something with the debugger, or haven't you started yet?

Note! Version 1.43 is great! It's getting better... Keep up good work!!! Good luck!

Each time I'm getting back into fasm coding, I find something important to do in the assembler itself, and therefore I haven't managed to start the debugger project yet. I have still some nice idea of further improvements for 1.44, so - I'm sorry - debugger project probably will not progress for some time.

Please keep in mind that FASM is a assembler in first case.
There are enough free and commercial debuggers out there :)

Privalov,
I think the elf formatter still has some bugs... I try to trap them down with GDB. Got a lot errors when linking against C libs :(

Well, - anyway - thanks for your fast reply! :)
Keep up good work! Fasm rulez!

That's strange, because I don't have any problems...
Here's my conversion of NASM example of GNOME programming, it has worked flawlessly at the first try on my system.
(This is a .gz file, I have changed the extension because this board does not allow such extension)

proc main, argc,argv

Awesome! I didnt know that its such easy to handle the argc/argv :)
That was the source to my problems too :(

Thanks a lot! :alright:

Hi Privalov.
If you want, I can begin the debuger project (with your little help, of course :)). Maybe some of other forum members will take part.

No debugger out there is comparable in quality to the source level integrated debugger that FASM will have. :)
