ASM: Convert int to string in Assembly

By
This post shows how to convert int (DWORD) to string using MASM library dwtoa. There seems to be a bug in dwtoa as it can only handle 2147483647 instead of 4294967295 which is the maximum size of DWORD (32-bit). The code for dwtoa checks for a negative number which is not needed for DWORD. Note that DWORD is defined as 32-bit unsigned.



Pre-requisite:



To assemble:
\masm32\bin\ml /c /Zd /coff int2string.asm

To link:
\masm32\bin\Link /SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE int2string.obj

To fix this, do: $: cd /var/lib/dkms/vboxhost $: sudo rm -r 4.1.4 $: sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup Of course you have to re...
