This is fragment of dosemu code called after int2f AX=112E (just before
quitting):
if (LOW(state->eax) == MULTIPURPOSE_OPEN /* 2E */) {
u_char *stack_ch, *stack_cl;
// original CX value when int21 ah=6c00 is called
u_short in2e_fileattr = sda_ext_attr(sda);
// normally this should be enought
SETWORD(&(state->ecx), out2e_result);
// but I try to modify pushed CX on stack
stack_ch = (u_char *) (Addr(state, ss, esp) - (784 + 6));
stack_cl = (u_char *) (Addr(state, ss, esp) - (784 + 7));
if (
((in2e_fileattr & 0x00ff) != *stack_cl) &&
((in2e_fileattr & 0xff00) != *stack_ch)
) {
// sanity check
error("Wrong stack offset for MULTIPURPOSE_OPEN!"
"Expected value: 0x%04x. Value on stack 0x%02x%02x\n",
in2e_fileattr, *stack_ch, *stack_cl);
leavedos(1);
}
*stack_ch = (out2e_result & 0xFF00) >> 16;
*stack_cl = out2e_result & 0x00FF;
}
I use this program to test if CX was set correctly:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <io.h>
#include <dos.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include <errno.h>
#define u_short unsigned int
#define u_char unsigned char
int open2e(u_short openmode, u_short fileattr, u_short fci, char *filename,
int *respond)
{
int __fd = -1, res;
asm {
mov ax, 0x6c00
mov bx, openmode
mov cx, fileattr
mov dx, fci
mov si, filename
int 0x21
jc blad
}
asm mov res, cx;
asm mov __fd, ax;
*respond = res;
return __fd;
blad:
asm mov errno, ax;
return -1;
}
int main(void)
{
int fd, res;
char *filename = "F:\\TEST.TXT";
clrscr();
fd = open2e(0x0042, 0x002a, 0x0001, filename, &res);
if (fd == -1) {
perror("open2e");
} else {
printf("2e respond: 0x%04x\n", res);
printf("fd == %d\n", fd);
write(fd, "write test", 11);
close(fd);
}
getch();
return 0;
}
If you need more do not hesitate to ask.
