I was thinking to add a macro system that smiler to Fasm or Masm and also include some Fasm & Masm code directly inside Ziron code , there are a big variety code already made and we can make use of them without converting them.

of course this does nothing much apart from output the message the plugin has been loaded, but it gives an example of the simplicity of the plugin system. Download Ziron Get free hosting for Ziron related fan-sites and Ziron projects, contact me in private message. |

I suggest that , you can path the entire source code line to the plugin ,then the plugin will pares it and changes it then paths back to Ziron to also pares it again.

Emil_halim Ziron Beta Tester (send private message) Posts: 639 Topics: 104 Location: Alex, Egypt | [109] - posted: 2011-10-24 19:34:15 sorry , I want to allow the plugin system to share Ziron when parsing the source code , so we can extend the Ziron features without touching Ziron itself. for example , if i have this line in source code xor eax; so Ziron will not understand it , but we can pass this line to a plugin then it will changes it to be like this xor eax,eax; then passing this changed line back to Ziron again to parsing it as usual. so i can made a plugin that understand basic syntax and convert it to Ziron normal syntax. hope you got me now.

Basically a pointer is passed to the code in memory, allowing for changes in code, however this is a problem since the size of memory needs also to be expanded, so i'm thinking about adding a grow function, allowing plugins to call Ziron_GrowMem(32) which of course will realloc the memory with the additional size of 32 kb of ram.. it may be difficult for plugin writers to know exactly how much more ram their plugin would require, meaning they would need to often call the grow function as it becomes necessary. Reallocating is not fast of course, however... plugins can resize by lets say 32kb, and keep track of the size, and if it plans to go over 32kb, to call to realloc again, 32kb i believe is more than enough space for any changes anyways. infact, in most cases, they may not even need to reallocate more than for 10000 character changes, 10kb would usually be more than enough. Optionally, it could be made that the plugin writer allocates the space they need, write the entire file into a buffer, pass it to the plugin and the compiler can replace the internal buffer by copying the contents of the new buffer. anyhow it is up for sugestions Download Ziron Get free hosting for Ziron related fan-sites and Ziron projects, contact me in private message. |
Emil_halim Ziron Beta Tester (send private message) Posts: 639 Topics: 104 Location: Alex, Egypt | [122] - posted: 2011-10-25 20:35:20 i have two ideas. first: we can pass the filename of source code that will compiled by Ziron to the pluging then the plugin will load the file and changes it then save it again the Ziron will take the control. second: and i prefer it , Ziron will load the file then pass each line to a plugin and after the plugin changes the code , Ziron save that to file and load it again to compile it as usual. note will , there will be more than one plugins form the users and each one will change the code as wanted. so the plugins must be ordered and the second solution will do it.
