Another example :

Code Select Expand

include SaveRegs.inc

SaveRegs MACRO

    mov     QWORD PTR [rbp],rcx
    mov     QWORD PTR [rbp+8],rdx
    mov     QWORD PTR [rbp+16],r8
    mov     QWORD PTR [rbp+24],r9

ENDM

.data

msg     db 'Hello!',0
msg2    db 'rcx,rdx,r8 and r9 are saved.',0
title   db 'MsgBox',0
title2  db 'Macro test',0

.code

start PROC PARMAREA=5*SIZEOF QWORD

;   Pass rsp to the procedure main

    invoke  main,ADDR msg2,ADDR title2,10,20,rsp

    invoke  ExitProcess,0

start ENDP


main PROC uses rbp r:QWORD,s:QWORD,t:QWORD,u:QWORD,_rsp:QWORD PARMAREA=4*SIZEOF QWORD

    mov     rbp,_rsp
    SaveRegs

    _r TEXTEQU <QWORD PTR [rbp]>
    _s TEXTEQU <QWORD PTR [rbp+8]>
    _t TEXTEQU <QWORD PTR [rbp+16]>
    _u TEXTEQU <QWORD PTR [rbp+24]>
   
    invoke  MessageBox,0,ADDR msg,ADDR title,0
   
;   The first call to MessageBox destroys rcx,rdx,r8 and r9

    invoke  MessageBox,0,_r,_s,0
   
    ret

main ENDP

END start

Intel Celeron N4020 CPU @ 1.10GHz - RAM 4,00 GB

I am amazed that this works - Win 11 23H2 with such limited resources!

Intel Core i7-7700HQ @ 2.80 GHz - RAM 16,0 GB

Perhaps capable to test Pelles C v14 too.

Here is another test :

Code Select Expand

include SaveRegs.inc

SaveRegs MACRO

    mov     QWORD PTR [rbx],rcx
    mov     QWORD PTR [rbx+8],rdx
    mov     QWORD PTR [rbx+16],r8
    mov     QWORD PTR [rbx+24],r9

ENDM

.data

msg     db 'Hello!',0
msg2    db 'rcx,rdx,r8 and r9 are saved.',0
title   db 'MsgBox',0
title2  db 'Macro test',0

.data?

mainRsp dq ?

.code

start PROC PARMAREA=5*SIZEOF QWORD

;   Pass rsp to the procedure main

    invoke  main,ADDR msg2,ADDR title2,10,20,rsp

    invoke  ExitProcess,0

start ENDP


main PROC uses rsi rdi rbx x:QWORD,y:QWORD,w:QWORD,z:QWORD,_rsp:QWORD PARMAREA=4*SIZEOF QWORD

    LOCAL   temp1:QWORD
    mov     temp1,10

    mov     rbx,_rsp
    SaveRegs

    xor     rsi,rsi
    mov     rdi,1

    invoke  MessageBox,0,ADDR msg,ADDR title,0
   
;   The first call to MessageBox destroys rcx,rdx,r8 and r9

    invoke  MessageBox,0,QWORD PTR [rbx],QWORD PTR [rbx+8],0
   
    ret

main ENDP

END start

General discussion / Re: Compiling using pomake

Last post by John Z - March 19, 2026, 09:56:01 PM

I made bad assumption then.  Assumed the fail to complete was a cascade due to the sqlite3.C code compile fail....

John Z

Tested on known good program. Only .obj created confirming polink not working.  No error message just crickets...

Hi Timo,

pomake.exe v14 works with Windows 7 x64, and CPU without MOVBE

The other tools are :

Code Select Expand

poasm.exe
podump.exe
pope.exe
porc.exe

No, polink.exe and polib.exe don't work.

EDIT:
with v14 pocc.exe and libs and v13 polink.exe and polib.exe
Zydis 4 dll and example worked.
TLPEView worked.

SQLite3 failed, illegal instruction (movbe)

EDIT:
In some tests i needs ide, so i use poide v13 to change project files

Code Select Expand

rsrc0009.dll version 13.00.1
support.dll version 13.00.0
fdiff.dll version 14.00.0

Great test Timo.

So that means pomake, pocc, polink, porc, are all 'ok' as far as the MOVBE is concerned.
I also tested poviewp and it was ok.

So it is likely that only poide is affected but points out we should test each po... tool.
