x86 - Assembly, registers and return values -m32 / linux -

-

i'm trying make simple codes in assembly can understand more. start want make function takes parameter.

i want add value parameter, example letter 'a', (has value 65 in ascii). want function return a, since eax holds 4 bytes , letter needs 1 byte, i'm trying use al part of eax register.

the problem here function doesn't work when use it. 4 strange-looking characters return value. knows why?

this how code looks like:

        .globl  letterprinter # name:             letterprinter # synopsis:         prints character 'a' (or @ least, supposed to) # c-signature:      int letterprinter(unsigned char *res); # registers:        %edx: argument supposed value #                   %eax: return value(s) #    letterprinter:                      # letterprinter      pushl       %ebp                # start of     movl        %esp, %ebp          # function      movl        8(%ebp), %edx       # first argument      movl        $65, %dl            # value 'a' in lowest part of edx, dl      movb        (%dl), %al          # moves return register eax     jmp     exit                    # ending function  exit:      popl        %ebp                # popping - standard end of function                                     # 0-byte ? should there one?     ret                             # return 

                    .globl  char  # name:         char # synopsis:         simplified sprintf # c-signature:      int sprinter(unsigned char *res, unsigned char); # registers:        %edx: first argument #               %ebx: second argument #    char:                   # char      pushl       %ebp            # start of     movl        %esp, %ebp      # function      movl        8(%ebp), %edx           # first argument     movl        12(%ebp), %eax          # second argument   add_res:     movb        %al, (%edx)     # eax low gets val @ edx     movb        $65, (%edx)     # puts string     jmp     exit            # jump exit    exit:      popl        %ebp            # popping standard end of function     movb        $0,1(%edx)      # adds zero-byte @ end                          ret                 # return

delphi - How to remove all the grips on a coolbar if I have several coolbands? -

-
Image
if set mycoolbar.fixedorder true,only grip on first band hidden. well,if use delphi 7 create vcl forms application,then put coolbar on , create 3 coolbans hold other controls,only grip , top coolbands can hidden setting mycoolbar.fixedorder:=true. i've uploaded picture make things clear. you got fixedorder property wrong. fixed property not allow bands rearranged if set true . setting property of coolbar true keep user changing bands order @ runtime, user can still move , resize bands. can give advice can do, actual solution problem, well, have wait answer. my advice use 3 coolbars in row , setting "fixedorder" property true , bandborderstyle bsnone . way grip hidden on of them. about property, it's not bug of ide, actual preference of property.

javascript - Animating array of divs; only the final element is modified -

this baffling me @ moment. i'm experienced programmer looking throw bit of surprise fiancee on countdown page our wedding. desired effect simulated confetti falling behind main page. setup follows: i have array of divs in javascript. each div absolutely positioned on page. have interval set updates every 50 or milliseconds. on each tick, run loop on array of divs, , calculations , update positions. problem problem having, however, though can see divs created, stored array, , modified (in case, each has slight randomized rotation) during initialization phase, once tick update position starts, div stored in whatever last slot of array gets position updated. tried hard-coding each div index testing purposes, strictly last element update position. upon printing current "left" , "top" style values each div before , after calculations shows value has been changed, no visible change noticeable. here's basic code: javascript var container;
