Combine structures
« on: April 27, 2017, 07:54:30 PM »
Is it possible in some way to attach the structure to another?
eg.
Code: [Select]
struc RIZE_STRUCTURE_OBJECT
.x resb 8
.y resb 8
.width resb 8
.height resb 8
.state_address resb 8
endstruc

struc RIZE_STRUCTURE_WINDOW
RIZE_STRUCTURE_OBJECT
.size resb 8
.width_virtual resb 8
.height_virtual resb 8
.status resb 1
.background_color resb 4
.border resb 1
.elements resb 8
.SIZE:
endstruc

I suppose...
Code: [Select]
struc RIZE_STRUCTURE_OBJECT
.x resb 8
.y resb 8
.width resb 8
.height resb 8
.state_address resb 8
endstruc

struc RIZE_STRUCTURE_WINDOW
.RIZE_STRUCTURE_OBJECT resb RIZE_STRUCTURE_OBJECT_size
.size resb 8
.width_virtual resb 8
.height_virtual resb 8
.status resb 1
.background_color resb 4
.border resb 1
.elements resb 8
.SIZE:                     resb 8 ;?
endstruc
Didn't I just answer this?

This is rather horrible, with ".size" and ".SIZE" as elements, plus "struc_name_size", but it ought to work(?). Untested!

Probably should note that you've just got a "typedef" here - no memory allocated for it/them as yet. Use "istruc" to initialize it/them or "resb ..._size" in section .bss.

Best,

EDIT: Ah, yes, here:

I don't think this is exactly what Kazu wanted. May not be what you want either...

Don't worry, everything is working just fine.

BTW. the last line of struct is good too, don't ever try to add "resb/w/d/q" or anything else there.
eg.
Code: [Select]
; next record of table
add rsi, RIZE_STRUCTURE_WINDOW.SIZE
so, this LABEL inside structure is what i need.

Your answer, error, nasm complain about "undefined symbols"
Code: [Select]

Okay... I guess you know what you're doing...
