hi

how can i define static array in asm (c-like), i want to hold pointer to functions in array

for example in C i do this:

Code: Select all

static isr_routine routines[256];

but how can i define it in the assembly.

It depends on the assembler you are using:

In my assembler Sol_Asm (free for OS DEV)

Code: Select all

.data
 isr_routines  rd 256         ; reserve dwords [256]
.code

In MASM:

Code: Select all

.data
 isr_routines  dd 256 dup(?)
.code

I will let the others complete this two examples with other more commonly used assemblers like FASM and NASM. A simple read of your assembler's manual should provide this kind of information.

PS.
You can find my SOL_ASM assembler and the manual here: at http://www.oby.ro/sol_asm/index.html

In MASM, one can also declare arrays of structures as:

Code: Select all

Label StructureName Count dup (<>)

In NASM, one uses the resb, resw or resd directives, such as:

Code: Select all

Label resd Count

This question is very inappropriate because it tells us you have no clue how static works.
