  1. Linking to VC++ Section 8.6 and chapter 12 in Irvine

  2. Preliminary material about the linker • Extern: any symbol used in this module but defined elsewhere must be declared extern (with its type specified) so the linker can resolve the reference. The extern must appear in the appropriate segment. • Public: any symbol defined in this module but needed elsewhere must be declared public so the linker knows to use its address in other modules. • Symbols may be declared public and not used elsewhere. Symbols declared as Extern must be defined elsewhere and the addressing must be resolved at link time.

  3. More remarks • Ml.exe is the assembler. • Various switches are used in the assembly some of which get explained later on. In particular, it is possible to compile C modules into obj files for linkage to assembly modules. This is shown later in the show. • Para means paragraph boundary. • Older version of the assembler used cseg, dseg, sseg and so on for code segment, data segment, stack segment etc. • The assume directive, which we haven’t used, tells the assembler to assume that the various segment registers will be pointing at the indicated segments for purposes of assembly. (The assume does not point them there, it is up to the programmer to do that.) • The underscore notation is used to indicate (assembly) labels which will be referenced from C and whose addresses the linker must resolve.

  4. A main using public and extern .model small .stack 100h .386 dseg segment para public 'data' message byte 0ah,0dh,"hello$" dseg ends extern Var1:word, Var2:word, Proc1:near CSEG segment para public 'code' assume cs:cseg, ds:dseg main proc mov ax,dseg mov ds,ax mov Var1, 20 mov Var2, 45 call Proc1 mov dx,var1 mov ah,2 int 21h mov dx,offset message mov ah,9 int 21h mov ax,4c00h int 21h main endp CSEG ends end main

  5. sub public Var1, Var2, Proc1 DSEG segment para public 'data' Var1 word ? Var2 word ? DSEG ends CSEG segment para public 'code' assume cs:cseg, ds:dseg Proc1 proc near mov ax, Var1 add ax, Var2 mov Var1, ax ret Proc1 endp CSEG ends end

  10. Assembly, compile, linkage • Generally, switches need to be used to specify how to assemble or compile and link. • Sometimes special assemblers or linkers are needed. • To interface with VC++ is straightforward. (See examples from text chapter 12 later in slideshow). Linking to Borland is harder, since 16 and 32 bit turbo assemblers are hard to get hold of and do not come with free compiler distributions. • I have omitted the assembly and linkage for the Borland example which appears next.

  11. Example with arrays in Borland C: the proc model small dataseg newline db 0ah,0dh,'$' codeseg PUBLIC _arrayproc include decout.asm;;;these are just the procs or macros, included in this file include macs.asm _arrayproc proc near push bp mov bp,sp mov ax,[bp+4] call dec_out message newline mov ax,[bp+6] call dec_out message newline mov di,[bp+4] mov cx,[bp+6] looptop: add word ptr [di],10 inc di inc di loop looptop pop bp ret _arrayproc endp end

  12. Example with arrays in Borland C continued: the main #include <stdio.h> extern void arrayproc(int [],int); void main(){ int i,x[20]; //fill array anyhow for(i=0;i<20;i++)x[i]=i*5; arrayproc(x,20); for(i=0;i<20;i++)printf("%d\n",x[i]); }

  13. Running array.c…first two pieces of output were generated in the sub W:\assembly\turboC\BIN>array 65486 20 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 65 70 75 80 85 90 95 100 105

  14. Another borland c example…using coprocessor extern "C" funct(double); #include <stdio.h> double a,b; void main(){ a=1234.567; funct(a); printf("answer %f",b); }

  15. What does “C” mean? • Cpp compilers use “name mangling” to handle function overloads. Internally, those overloaded functions wind up with names distinguished by their argument lists. • To turn off name mangling, you can ask the compiler to use “C” compiler conventions for compiling functions.

  16. The function .model small .data extrn _b:qword .code public _funct _funct proc near push bp mov bp,sp fld qword ptr [bp+4] fstp _b fwait pop bp ret _funct endp end

  17. Borland example 2, using coprocessor run W:\assembly\turboC\BIN>copro answer 1234.567000

  18. Another coprocessor example • #include "stdio.h" • extern "C" funct(double,double *); • double a,b; • void main(){ • a=1234.567; • funct(a,&b); • printf("answer %f",b); • }

  19. function .model small .code public _funct _funct proc near push bp mov bp,sp fld qword ptr [bp+4] fld qword ptr [bp+4] fadd st,st(1) mov si,[bp+12] fstp qword ptr [si] fwait pop bp ret _funct endp end

  20. Run of copro2 W:\assembly\turboC\BIN>copro2 answer 2469.134000 W:\assembly\turboC\BIN>

  21. An assembly main .model small .stack 100h dataseg val dw ? num dw ? prompt db 'enter',0ah,0dh,'$' p2 db 'value is',0ah,0dh,'$' crlf db 0ah,0dh,'$' include macs.asm codeseg EXTRN _addnums:proc include decin.asm include decout.asm main proc near mov ax, @data mov ds,ax message prompt call dec_in push bx message crlf message prompt call dec_in push bx message crlf call _addnums message p2 call dec_out mov ax,4c00h int 21h main endp end main

  22. The c function • extern "C" int addnums(int,int); • int addnums(int a,int b){ • return a+b;}

  23. run W:\assembly\turboC\BIN>asmtoc enter 123 enter 456 value is 579 W:\assembly\turboC\BIN>

  24. Linking assembly and C • You can use assembly inline • You can link c functions to an assembly main • Or visa versa • Some versions of Borland C are available in the labs • I used the text’s VC++ examples. • As mentioned earlier, you need 32 bit TASM (Borland assembler) to properly configure assembly with borland c programs.

  25. main extern "C" void asm_main(); // asm startup proc void main() { asm_main(); }

  26. Directory listing .586 .MODEL flat,C ; Standard C library functions: system PROTO, pCommand:PTR BYTE printf PROTO, pString:PTR BYTE, args:VARARG scanf PROTO, pFormat:PTR BYTE,pBuffer:PTR BYTE, args:VARARG fopen PROTO, mode:PTR BYTE, filename:PTR BYTE fclose PROTO, pFile:DWORD BUFFER_SIZE = 5000 .data str1 BYTE "cls",0 str2 BYTE "dir/w",0 str3 BYTE "Enter the name of a file: ",0 str4 BYTE "%s",0 str5 BYTE "cannot open file",0dh,0ah,0 str6 BYTE "The file has been opened and closed",0dh,0ah,0 modeStr BYTE "r",0 fileName BYTE 60 DUP(0) pBuf DWORD ? pFile DWORD ?

  27. Asm code part .code asm_main PROC ; clear the screen, display disk directory INVOKE system,ADDR str1 INVOKE system,ADDR str2 ; ask for a filename INVOKE printf,ADDR str3 INVOKE scanf, ADDR str4, ADDR fileName ; try to open the file INVOKE fopen, ADDR fileName, ADDR modeStr mov pFile,eax .IF eax == 0 ; cannot open file? INVOKE printf,ADDR str5 jmp quit .ELSE INVOKE printf,ADDR str6 .ENDIF ; Close the file INVOKE fclose, pFile quit: ret ; return to C++ main asm_main ENDP END

  28. Directory listing: running exe in debug

  29.

  30. Running from VC++ dos prompt

  31. public and external • public, in an assembly module, declares that a symbol defined in this module should be made available (by linker) to other modules being linked. • extern indicates that a symbol used in this module is not defined here, but in another module

  32. main.cpp (Borland C) // main.cpp // Calls the external LongRandom function, written in // assembly language, that returns an unsigned 32-bit // random integer. Compile in the Large memory model. #include <iostream.h> extern "C" unsigned long LongRandom(); //"C" indicates to the compiler not to use name mangling but standard C naming //long will return long (32 bit) int in dx:ax const int ARRAY_SIZE = 500; int main() { // Allocate array storage and fill with 32-bit // unsigned random integers. unsigned long * rArray = new unsigned long[ARRAY_SIZE]; for(unsigned i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE; i++) { rArray[i] = LongRandom();//call the external (assembly) function cout << rArray[i] << ','; } cout << endl; return 0; }

  33. asm proc longrandom ; LongRandom procedure module (longrand.asm) .model large .386 Public _LongRandom .data seed dd 12345678h//seed should be odd, not even ; Return an unsigned pseudo-random 32-bit integer ; in DX:AX,in the range 0 - FFFFFFFFh. .code _LongRandom proc far, C mov eax, 214013 mul seed xor edx,edx add eax, 2531011 mov seed, eax ; save the seed for the next call shld edx,eax,16 ; copy upper 16 bits of EAX to DX ret _LongRandom endp end

  34. longrand.exe • text examples come with (some) compiled cpp and assembled asm examples. • you would need to find a borland c compiler to undertake this work. • there is a free c compiler (commandline only – no ide) available from inprise (borland) • you would link the two obj files to create an exe

  35. Free compiler from borland • Link for compiler:http://community.borland.com/article/0,1410,20633,00.html

  36. IDEs available for Borland compiler

  37. IDE continued& SoftwareDave site • You can “easily” integrate borland C compiler with textpad, also.
