C to Delphi

[iLuvCoding92]

I am having problems converting this coding form C to Delphi.

char* szMemDump = (char*)malloc(mbi.RegionSize+1);

malloc is ok. But I don't what's with all the "char*".

if( memcmp( (void*)(szMemDump+x), (void*)szBytes, strlen( szBytes ) ) == 0 )

I just cannot sum both szMemDump and x together?

1) C is quite strict on variable types, Delphi usually is more relaxed.

var szMemDump : pointer;
szMemDump := malloc(mbi.RegionSize+1);

2)

if memcmp(pointer(dword(szMemDump)+x), szBytes, strlen(szBytes)) = 0 then

Anyway, I would suggest that you do not convert the code literally, instead think what the C code does and write new code using Delphi functions (eg. GetMem instead on malloc, CompareMem instead of memcmp, Length instead of strlen).

There's no such thing as malloc in delphi, use GetMem().
