Hi all,
The code below is a strlen() procedure implemented in vc7, I tried to
understand it but failed.
I think the core of this code is its "main_loop", which makes me
confused.Can anybody help me? Any hint will be appreciated.Thanks.
public strlen
strlen proc
.FPO ( 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0 )
string equ [esp + 4]
mov ecx,string ; ecx -> string
test ecx,3 ; test if string is aligned on
32 bits
je short main_loop
str_misaligned:
; simple byte loop until string is aligned
mov al,byte ptr [ecx]
add ecx,1
test al,al
je short byte_3
test ecx,3
jne short str_misaligned
add eax,dword ptr 0 ; 5 byte nop to align label
below
align 16 ; should be redundant
main_loop:
mov eax,dword ptr [ecx] ; read 4 bytes
mov edx,7efefeffh
add edx,eax
xor eax,-1
xor eax,edx
add ecx,4
test eax,81010100h
je short main_loop
; found zero byte in the loop
mov eax,[ecx - 4]
test al,al ; is it byte 0
je short byte_0
test ah,ah ; is it byte 1
je short byte_1
test eax,00ff0000h ; is it byte 2
je short byte_2
test eax,0ff000000h ; is it byte 3
je short byte_3
jmp short main_loop ; taken if bits 24-30 are clear
and bit
; 31 is set
byte_3:
lea eax,[ecx - 1]
mov ecx,string
sub eax,ecx
ret
byte_2:
lea eax,[ecx - 2]
mov ecx,string
sub eax,ecx
ret
byte_1:
lea eax,[ecx - 3]
mov ecx,string
sub eax,ecx
ret
byte_0:
lea eax,[ecx - 4]
mov ecx,string
sub eax,ecx
ret
strlen endp
end
