tls directory

How to create tls directory?

This code causes an error illegal instruction

Code: Select all

!section '.tls' Data readable writeable
!Data 9 ;the tls directory is the 9nth directory entry.
!      .RawDataStartVA dd 0
!        .RawDataEndVA   dd 0
!        .AddressofIndex dd adress_of_index
!  .AddressofCallback dd adress_of_callback
!    .SizeofZeroFill dd 0
!        .Characteristic dd 0
!       
!    adress_of_index dd 0
!End Data

what language is that? I don't think it's using pb commands (which may explain why you're getting illegal instruction errors)

This is fasm https://board.flatassembler.net/topic.p ... 500#132500

Code: Select all

format PE GUI 4.0
entry start 

include '%fasminc%\win32a.inc'

section '.code' code readable executable 
start: 
mov [ExecOnExit],1
invoke  MessageBox, 0, szHelloWorld, szHelloWorld, MB_OK
invoke  ExitProcess, 0


section '.data' Data readable writeable executable
szTitle db 'Callback Msg', 0
szHelloWorld db 'Hello World',0
szCallback1 db 'This is the first tls callback function',0
szCallback2 db 'this is the second tls callback function',0
ExecOnExit      dd 0



my_callback1:
;this will be executed only on application start, befor entry point.
mov eax, [ExecOnExit] ;check if this is the callback on start app, or on exit.
test eax, eax
jnz @f
invoke  MessageBox, 0, szCallback1, szTitle, MB_OK
@@:
ret
my_callback2:
;this will be executed 2 times, on start and on exit the app.
invoke  MessageBox, 0, szCallback2, szTitle, MB_OK
ret



section '.tls' Data readable writeable 
Data 9 ;the tls directory is the 9nth directory entry.
.RawDataStartVA dd 0
.RawDataEndVA   dd 0
.AddressofIndex dd adress_of_index
.AddressofCallback dd adress_of_callback
.SizeofZeroFill dd 0
.Characteristic dd 0

adress_of_index dd 0
adress_of_callback dd my_callback1, my_callback2, 0
End Data

section '.idata' Import Data readable writeable 
  
  library kernel32,'kernel32.dll',\ 
  user32,'user32.dll',\ 
  msvcrt,'msvcrt.dll'
  
  include '%fasminc%\api\kernel32.inc'
  include '%fasminc%\api\user32.inc'
  include '%fasminc%\api\msvcrt.inc'

But inline asm returns an error: data 9 illegal instruction
Any ideas?

What is wrong with using PB's function?
CreateDirectory(sDirectoryName.s)

[yofu]

Lol, this is not a folder.

try in lowercase 'data'

[yofu]

try in lowercase 'data'

The same error

Edit: (just a wild guess)
I think the reason is the "format PE GUI 4.0" directive which is required.
I guess that's why it won't work in PB, which only uses the MS COFF format IIRC.

Yes, when using the format MS COFF, also throws the same error
