Hi guys, today I check some of my windows sockets codes and wanted to update & optimze it a little writing some clean code without to be messy to have also a better view on it.Now I came to the hostent struct which returns a pointer to this struct after calling gethostbyname / gethostbyaddr.Now in the MSDN description I can read that this struct is only used once for each call to this function and getting overwritten by another call.Now they say I should copy the struct into other buffer. So does it mean I dont need to copy it into extra buffer if I call the function from diffrent created threads?Just if I use same thread = copy to buffer?So normaly I ca…

Getting most significant bits... I could only think of this: #define GetLSBs(x,n) (x&((1<<n)-1)) unsigned int GetMSBs(unsigned int x,unsigned n) // n number of bits to get from i = 0 { // n = numbers of bits to get unsigned int LSB = GetLSBs(x,32-n); unsigned int MSB = x-LSB; return MSB; } I've thinked of getting MSB with "and" instruction; anyway I've failed to get bits mask: first bit, first two bits, first 3 bits ...: 1000 // 8 1100 // 12 1110 // 14 1111 // 15

Mainly for anyone using asm and interested in custom controls or adding more functionality to their projects, I recently began work in porting over, adapting and adding to DrawHTML code from Ukkie9: https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/7936/DrawHTML I created two functions: DrawHTMLCODE and DrawBBCODE that processes html or bbcode tags in a string and adjusts the text and font style accordingly and outputs the result as per DrawText or DrawTextEx win32 api functions, but with the added enhancements. So far some tags are supported, not all. Mainly ones that are more common in use, or made sense to include. Anyhow I have put the code on github for anyone to u…

Hi guys, does anyone know how to decompress CWS files to FWS (decompressed) manually or via dll / API xy?

i am new to assembly programming. First i thank to member of tuts4you for being helpful in needy times. I am learning assembly from online and books. i am stuck on point. I am having problem using 1. lea eax, [esp-04h*2] 2. mov [ebx-04h], bp ; 3. cmp [esi+eax-06h], 'KCUF' 4. cmp word ptr [ebx+18h], 01h 5. cmp dword ptr [esi], 00455000h or similar code snippet. Thanks, I know this is very basic question to ask but i wanna learn from here as well. Please take some moment and explain what address mode it is and what does the code do. Thanks

i was testing quads using multiple colors (gouraud-shade) and for some reason virtual machines either inverts the quad colors or vertex order here's a screenshot i did a test using the same exe in my host and guest virtual machine, at the left of their screen they are all three triangles, both quads at the right also enumerated the vertex order in which they are drawn in the image, you can notice the quads color or vertex are inverted on the virtual machine i tested on VMware and a friend also tested on VirtualBox, the result is the same on both, may i ask why this happens? attached the exe and source, the assembly source is here if that's better …
