Possible Enhancements for JWasm
1. support UNICODE strings. Similar to PoAsm? Most likely no,
since using the DB/DW directives to define such strings
doesn't seem to be the best strategy. Might be better to
have an extra type for unicode strings (tchar), in
conjunction with a cmdline option to switch ansi/unicode.
2. [ done, was: option FPO (frame pointer omission); has
become option STACKBASE. ]
3. unnamed RECORD within a STRUCT. Record field names
will be local then and must be unique within the STRUCT. This
feature will ease converting C include files to ASM.
Syntax:
operator WIDTH: ok
operator MASK: ???
S1 STRUCT
f1 dd ?
RECORD bit0:1, bit1:1
S1 ends
mov eax, MASK S1.bit0
or v1.bit0 ???
4. [ done, was: native support for PE binaries ]
5. ASSUME extension
use ASSUME CS:[USE16|USE32|USE64] to change current offset size
without changing segments.
6. FOR extension
Preprocessor extension:
FOR EACH x IN [<struct>|<union>|<record>|<proc>]
...
ENDM
- x is the loop variable, it's a text macro, its value will be
the name of the item.
- the "members" are enumerated. For PROCedures, these are the
parameters, local variables and local labels.
