Title: Definition file to MASM include file converter
Post by: Vortex on June 16, 2005, 07:56:17 AM

def2inc converts a definition file created by Iczelion's lib2def tool to MASM include files containing function prototypes. The definition files ( .icz ) are created from Pelle's import libraries.Using Iczelion's lib2def tool supported by def2inc is a simple methode to create MASM include files from MS COFF import libraries.Notice that the tool should be at the same directory where the .icz definitions files are located. def2inc accepts wildcards like *.inc

To get information about lib2def :

Version 1.11
Now, the tool is redesigned to convert module definiton files.

Quotedef2inc converts a module definition file to MASM include files containing function prototypes. Notice that the tool should be at the same directory where the module definitions files are located. def2inc accepts wildcards like *.def

The module definition file should have the following format :

LIBRARY kernel32
EXPORTS
"_ActivateActCtx@8"
"_AddAtomA@4"
"_AddAtomW@4"
etc.

Version 1.2

Some functions have also an ANSI version, the new swicth -d will display duplicate symbols :

Code Select

def2inc user32.def

Code Select

Duplicate name in user32.def , BroadcastSystemMessage
Duplicate name in user32.def , CallMsgFilter
Duplicate name in user32.def , GetAltTabInfo
Duplicate name in user32.def , GetWindowModuleFileName
Duplicate name in user32.def , IsDialogMessage
Duplicate name in user32.def , RealGetWindowClass
Duplicate name in user32.def , TranslateAccelerator

Only the ANSI version of those functions are passed to the final include file.
