translate assembler code into turbo pascal code

Hi,

I need to write a program only in Turbo Pascal 7.0 or
there's a procedure I know in assembler but I can't find
the translation of 'les' [in this procedure] into Turbo
Pascal 7.0.
The entire procedure is :

procedure setcursor(x,y : integer;cursor : t_cursor);
assembler;
 asm
  mov ax,09h
  mov bx,x
  mov cx,y
  les dx,cursor {the line I'm unable to translate}
  int 33h
 end;

please help me it's quite urgent !

les dx, cursor loads the register combination es:dx with the words
located at the address of the variable cursor. Therefore, "cursor"
is probably a pointer to a structure that defines the shape of the
mouse cursor. es:dx is equivalent to cursor^.

uses dos;

procedure setcursor(x,y : integer;cursor : t_cursor);
var r:registers;
begin
  r.ax:=$09;
  r.bx:=x;
  r.cx:=y;
  r.es:=seg(cursor);
  r.dx:=ofs(cursor);
  intr($33,r);
end;

There is no "translation", 'les' is 'les'. Thus the translation is
correct but the parameter type is wrong.

Substitute

        procedure setcursor(x,y : integer;cursor : t_cursor);

by

        procedure setcursor(x,y : integer;var cursor:t_cursor);

Then 'cursor' will have the expected type 'pointer' in BASM.
les,lds,lss etc. apply syntactically to pointers only.

If you absolutely want to declare it as you did you'd have to write

      mov dx, SS
      mov ES, dx
      lea dx, cursor

instead of  les dx, cursor in order to get the _address_ of 'cursor'
into ES:DX.

RTFM. Turbo pascal passes complex parameters (with exception of
arrays/records of length exactly 1,2 or 4 bytes) as pointers. In Pascal
procedures the entry code copies the variable to a local variable but in
Assembler procedures that is not done. For ASM procedures there is
little difference between value and variable parameters with complex
types.

I just wonder what makes you use such language.

Why do you use such a language?
RTFM means "read the f'ing manual" because nobody likes to read manuals
and because manuals are often incomplete, not helpful or whatever.
But RTFM does NOT mean "the f'ing user should read his manual".
RTFM does not insult anybody.

Lieber Horst,

Mir scheint, Deine wste Antwort war ein Fehltritt, der vielleicht
mit einer sofortigen Entschuldigung ein bisschen ausgebgelt
werden kann. RTFM im englischen Sprachraum ist wirklich keine
Beleidigung, bloss ein Ausruf, wie mein Vorg?nger schon bemerkt
hat. Im Zweifelfalle w?re es vermutlich besser, erst mal nachzufragen.
Erst schiessen und dann erst Fragen zu stellen ist nicht immer die
beste L?sung.

It isn't normally a comment on the manual. It's a comment on the fact
that the recipient of the epithet should have read the manual. The
f-word is for emphasis. Or it could have been intended in a lighter
spirit... tone of voice would be important here, but unfortunately
such nuances are lost in a newsgroup.

It says "you are ignorant". That may not be an insult to a newbie, but
I can't see how it would be anything other than an insult to someone
who has been a respected poster here for a long time.

Alex,

- Ich nannte Horsts Bemerkung eine wste Antwort, nicht eine Frechheit
- "Vielleicht" und "ein bisschen" beziehen sich auf die Entschuldigung,
  nicht auf Horsts Ausbruch. Osmo akzeptiert "vielleicht" die
Entschuldigung;
  ob er's tut oder nicht ist seine Sache.

Die deutsche Sprache ist in solchen Sachen sehr pr?zis. Lies doch bitte
meine Antwort noch einmal - da sind wirklich keine mildernden Umst?nde
fr Horsts Gefluche drin.

Hallo Klaus,

stimmt, beim zweiten Durchlesen bemerkte ich, da? das "vielleicht" auf
"ausgebgelt werden kann" gemntzt war. Aber mein "Frechheit" war auch
nicht auf Dein Posting bezogen, sondern ich meinte einfach, "es sei mehr
als eine Frechheit". Allgemein gesprochen.

So, jetzt sollten wir aber wieder in Englisch posten, bevor die
restliche Newsgroup ber uns kommt :).
