Thanks nave,
I found why I am confused by reading your reply, the counter is in the basis of 4-byte, not 1-byte, correct?
regards,
George

4 is the sizeof doubleword and the count is the count of doublewords as it uses "store string instruction" (rep stosd).[^]. if it uses rep stosb[^] it would be 1 byte

Cool, Rajkumar. I think the 4 assembly instruction is doing stack initialization work for the stack space used for foo function, correct?
2.
But from the 4 assembly instruction, how do you know it ends from address ebp-0C0h and is 30 * 4 bytes length?
regards,
George

i think so (i admit), to facilitate ease debug VC++ compiler fills stack variables with 0cch and heap with 0cdh(if my knowledge is correct  ).

as naveen said, it is the stack frame size calculated by compiler, refer fixed-allocation-size
in [Prolog and Epilog^] and [Stack Allocation^] for paramters considered for that.

Do you mean stack will be initialized just according to how much data will be used actually? Or no matter how much data will be used, a fixed size will be initialized?
2.
My confusion is, from the assembly code I posted, more stack space than I acually used is initialized. Any comments?
regards,
George

Hi George,
I believe the whole idea is twofold:
1. to initialize your function's local variables to a strange value,
increasing the probability that you will discover potential "variable value used before
being set" mistakes. Your function does not have local variabled, so this does not apply here.
2. allocate more stack space than needed, and fill it with something that springs out
in a hex dump, so you can easily recognize the stack frames of each of your functions.
Both of these reasons don't hold true for release code, since they cost both CPU cycles
and stack space.

It is ok. But how to calculate the actual stack space used? For example, in my sample?

The compiler is responsible for stack allocation. It knows what it wants
to store on stack, and it can round it up to whatever number it chooses,
as long as it emits correct code (e.g. it should not initialize more memory
than it has allocated for each and every function).

Thanks Luc,
How does compiler calculate the size of the stack in my sample, I do not know why the size is 30h in my sample. It is much more than actually used?

George

Actually i want to read each pixel of image, it may be of any type. For exa take .ppm image file, which contains less information. But i don`t know the exact structure of header or pixel. I am interested in C/C++ only. Plz tell me something about how to open image headers or pixels in C/C++? or tell me any sitename where i can found all information.

Try with the CodeProject searching about DDB (Device Dependant Bitmap), DIB (Device Independant Bitmaps), BITMAPINFOHEADER, DDB to DIB... and restricting the search with NOT MFC. You should find usefull information.

Hi you all,
I am trying to build a bit of software to generate a web picture book. I know that there are a lot of programs around to do just that, but I want to write my own HTML that fits into existing websites. The HTML is no problem, but I need to be able to load images from different formats (.jpg, .bmp, .tiff, etc) and generate .jpg images from them for both a thumbnail and the actual image to be shown. Does anyone have any suggestions for the way to
a: load the images
b: resize them so that a relatively neat image will result
c: save them as .jpg images?
Thanks a lot in advance.
William

Thanks a lot. It does what I would like to do!
There is only one thing though: I do not see any function to save the altered image (preferably as a .jpg file) Do you have any information on how to do this?
Thanks a lot!
William

Hello everyone,
I have debugged into the assembly language for the following simple sample, but I never saw any instructions dealing with push eip/pop eip, which dealing with saving/restoring the return address when function foo completes. Any ideas?
int foo (int a, int b)
{
return a+b;
}
int main()
{
int a1 = 100;
int b1 = a1 + 100;
a1 = foo (a1, b1);
return 0;
}
thanks in advance,
George

The call family of instructions push the address of the next statement onto the stack and load the EIP register with its (the call instruction's) argument. The ret family of instructions pop the return address off the stack and load it into the EIP register. It can get a little more complicated than that but that's the general idea.

Well, I'm far from being an expert, anyway IMHO this sentence [^] explains why you cannot find it into the disassembled code.

Thanks CPallini,
The document describes well how to read/write to EIP, but this is not my question.
My question is why there is no explicit push/pop EIP instruction in the code for my sample program?

George

from the document:
The EIP register cannot be accessed by the programmer directly
hence you never see direct push eip / pop eip instructions in code, simply because they don't exist. Register eip is accessed by the call/ret mechanism.
