AllocSLCallback(3w)

NAME

AllocSLCallback (KERNEL32.@)

SYNOPSIS

DWORD AllocSLCallback
(
DWORD finalizer,
DWORD callback
)

PARAMS

finalizer [In] Finalizer function.

[In] Callback function.

DESCRIPTION

Allocate a 16->32 callback.

NOTES

Win95 uses some structchains for callbacks. It allocates them in blocks of 100 entries, size 32 bytes each, layout:

blockstart:

0: PTR nextblockstart

4: entry *first;

8: WORD sel ( start points to blockstart)

A: WORD unknown

100xentry:

00..17: Code

18: PDB *owning_process;

1C: PTR blockstart.

We ignore this for now. (Just a note for further developers)

FIXME: use this method, so we don't waste selectors...

Following code is then generated by AllocSLCallback. The code is 16 bit, so the 0x66 prefix switches from word->long registers.

665A pop edx

6668x arg2 x pushl <arg2>

6652 push edx

EAx arg1 x jmpf <arg1>.

returns the startaddress of this thunk.

Note, that they look very similar to the ones allocates by THUNK_Alloc.

RETURNS

A segmented pointer to the start of the thunk

IMPLEMENTATION

Not defined in a Wine header. The function is either undocumented, or missing from Wine.

Implemented in "dlls/kernel32/thunk.c".

Debug channel "thunk".
