Looks interesting. Why not pass your lib onto the PBOSL people.

Maybe better then to convert algo to PB code?

Hi Inf0Byt3,

An opinion only, here.

If releasing open source code for masm was a problem, a number of high-profile masm-ers would have been in trouble some time ago. There is some awesome stuff released as source. See, eg, stuff by Ewayne Wagner. Pretty close to full blown word-processors, etc.

In fact, there is source for implementations of the Boyer-Moore algo available for masm bundled in with the masm package.

So you should be ok.

Note:

An issue would be, I think, in packaging the compiler/linker with a commercial app. For example, if I wrote something like PureBasic that emitted masm asm and then sold it with masm bundled in (to do the job that fasm does for purebasic) then this might get some aggro.

But there is nothing to stop anyone from going to masmforums.com and getting masm.

@Inf0Byt3: you can also release your lib as stand-alone version for the moment. Simply send it to me and I will put it in the userlibs section on www.PureArea.net

My e-mail is: andre [at] purebasic.com
