This is a common source for generating EuroAssembler output file in a chosen program format. Its interface and procedures are used in actual format modules (pfbin.htm, pfcom.htm etc).

Most important procedure PfOutput is invoked after the final assembly pass and it provides all functions of linker:

  1. Sections of the just assembled main program are joined to their base segment,
  2. external programs (modules and libraries) requested in source text by pseudoinstruction LINK are loaded from disk, converted to internal PGM format and saved on main program's .ModulePgmList,
  3. segments of all loaded programs are combined to the main program,
  4. order of segments is set,
  5. segments are linked into executable image,
  6. headers and other auxilliary structures are updated,
  7. data in requested output file format are stored to output STREAM and then to a disk file.

In order to introduce a new output program format:
  1. Choose a unique format shortcut and add it on PfList.
  2. Create source file pfshortcut.htm with the corresponding formatting procedure PfshortcutCompile.
  3. Update procedure PfDetect.
  4. Update procedure PgmoptSetDefaults.
  5. Update procedure PgmoptSetLinkProp.
  6. Update procedure PgmCreateImplicitSegments.
  7. Update procedure PgmListMap.
  8. Update PROGRAM FORMAT= documentation in manual.
  9. Create test file(s) for the new format.
  10. Rebuild EuroAssembler.

↑ %PfList
This enumeration declares output program formats which EuroAssembler supports.
For each supported format it also defines a corresponding numeric option in PgmoptEncoding:
pgmoptBIN EQU 1
pgmoptCOM EQU 2
pgmoptOMF EQU 3 etc. Names of theese values are enumerated in %PfPgmoptList. 
%PfList        %SET BIN,COM,OMF,LIBOMF,MZ,COFF,LIBCOF,DLL,PE,RSRC

↑ PfQueryChar Char
Macro PfQueryChar searches for a %Char in string ESI,EDX.
Input
Char is a character to find.
ESI is pointer to the searched string.
EDX is size of the searched string.
Output
ZF=1 if the string contains Char.
EAX,EDI,ECX changed.
PfQueryChar %MACRO Char ; Ad hoc macro to find a Char in string ESI,EDX.

↑ PfOutput Pgm
Procedure PfOutput creates output program file with name specified by Pgm.Pgmopt.OutFile in the format specified by Pgm.Pgmopt.Status:pgmoptFormatMask.
PfOutput is dispatcher to actual format creators PfFormat Compile, which write the output to an intermediary stream.
Input
Pgm Pointer to a completely assembled PGM object.
Output
Output file is written to disk.
Error
CF=1 Errors are reported with macro Msg.

↑ PfLoad Pgm, Filemask, LinePtr
PfLoad will resolve linked object module name(s) specified by (wildcarded) Filemask, check their format, and convert each linked file to a PGM structure created on Pgm.Pool. The new created PGM then will be added to Pgm.ModulePgmList.
Input
Pgm is pointer to a completely assembled PGM object to which it is linked (base program).
Filemask is pointer to zero-terminated linked file name. It may contain path and wildcards.
LinePtr points to the source line with LINK statement which requested the file. It is used in error messages.
Output
Requested program(s) is loaded and stored to Pgm.ModulePgmList (but not linked yet).
Error
CF=1 Errors are reported with macro Msg.

Input
InputObjPtr is pointer to the file contents mapped in memory, loaded by the caller.
InputObjSize is number of bytes in the file.

↑ PfDrectveCreate Program

PfDrectveCreate creates new auxilliary section of unspecified width with name [.drectve] and PURPOSE=DRECTVE when a non-executable files is compiled, if a section with that name and purpose does not exist yet. Otherwise it appends to its contents.
The section contains linker directives which will be used when the final executable is created.

See PfDrectveDestroy for the list of supported directives.

The section is not created if dynamic linking is not required, i.e. when no symbol with scope EXPORT or IMPORT was defined in the Program.

Input
New segment [.drectve] is created in Program.

↑ PfDrectveDestroy Program

PfDrectveDestroy will find an auxiliary segment [.drectve] with PURPOSE=DRECTVE, read, parse and assemble its emitted contents, and then it will discard the segment.

Typical directive looks like /name: value. Directive consists of

prefix
slash / or hyphen -
name
(identifier)
suffix
colon : or equal sign = or white space(s)
value
quoted or unquoted string.
Invokes
DictLookup SssCreateExtern SssFind SymFindByName
Invoked by
PfcoffLoadModule PfomfLoadModule

Directives are separated with comma , and/or white space. String of directives may begin with prefix UTF-8 BOM (DB 0xEF,0xBB,0xBF). Unsupported directives are silently ignored.

Linker directives supported by €ASM:
/ENTRY:EntrySymbolName
/EXPORT:ExportedSymbolName
/IMPORT:ImportedSymbolName:"ImportDllName" . ImportDllName may be omitted when it equals to kernel32.dll .

Directive /IMPORT is not supported by MS linker. €ASM uses /IMPORT: to propagate import-properties of symbols imported by COFF object module to the main executable. Thanks to this, the executable does not necessarily have to import those symbols again.
In order to support a new MS linker directive by €ASM:
  1. add the directive name to dictionary DictDrectve
  2. create its public handler in this procedure, e.g. PfDrectveDestroy.NEWOPTION::
Input
Program is a pointer to the just loaded PGM.
Output
Each linker directive created or updated its symbol in the Program.
Segment [.drectve] was removed from Program.SssList.
Error
CF=1 Errors are reported with macro Msg.
