and how do I code InterlockedExchangeAdd64 in In 32-bit x86 assembly ?
InterlockedExchangeAdd64 is a function that atomically adds a 64-bit integer to a target variable and returns the original value of the target variable. In 32-bit x86 assembly, you can implement this using a combination of the LOCK prefix, CMPXCHG8B instruction, and ADD instruction. Here's an example implementation in x86 assembly:
assembly
; Function signature:
; LONGLONG InterlockedExchangeAdd64(volatile LONGLONG *Target, LONGLONG Value)
;
; Inputs:
; [esp + 4] - Pointer to Target (64-bit integer)
; [esp + 8] - Value to be added (64-bit integer)
global _InterlockedExchangeAdd64
_InterlockedExchangeAdd64:
push ebp
mov ebp, esp
push ecx
push edx
push ebx
push esi
push edi
; Load Target address into edi
mov edi, [ebp + 8]
; Load Value (low part) into esi
mov esi, [ebp + 12]
; Load Value (high part) into ebx
mov ebx, [ebp + 16]
retry:
; Read Target value into eax:edx
mov eax, [edi]
mov edx, [edi + 4]
; Save the original value in ecx:esi for later
mov ecx, edx
mov esi, eax
; Add Value to the original value
add eax, [ebp + 12]
adc edx, [ebp + 16]
; Attempt to perform the atomic operation
lock cmpxchg8b [edi]
; Check if the exchange was successful
jne retry
; Return the original value in edx:eax
mov eax, esi
mov edx, ecx
; Restore registers and return
pop edi
pop esi
pop ebx
pop edx
pop ecx
pop ebp
ret 12This implementation assumes that you're using the cdecl calling convention. The function takes two arguments: a pointer to the target 64-bit integer (Target), and a 64-bit integer value (Value) to be added. It first loads the Target address into the EDI register and the Value into the EBX:ESI register pair. It then repeatedly attempts to perform an atomic addition using the LOCK CMPXCHG8B instruction until successful. The function finally restores the registers, places the original target value in the EAX:EDX register pair, and returns.
Please note that you need to assemble and link this code with an appropriate assembler (like NASM) and linker (like ld) to create an executable binary.
why do you push EDX and POP EDX ? by POP EDX you destroy the result which is in EAX:EDX
You are correct, my previous response contains an error in the register handling. I apologize for that mistake. We should not push and pop EDX since it's part of the return value. Here is the corrected version of the code:
assembly
; Function signature:
; LONGLONG InterlockedExchangeAdd64(volatile LONGLONG *Target, LONGLONG Value)
;
; Inputs:
; [esp + 4] - Pointer to Target (64-bit integer)
; [esp + 8] - Value to be added (64-bit integer)
global _InterlockedExchangeAdd64
_InterlockedExchangeAdd64:
push ebp
mov ebp, esp
push ecx
; No need to push edx, since it's part of the return value
push ebx
push esi
push edi
; Load Target address into edi
mov edi, [ebp + 8]
; Load Value (low part) into esi
mov esi, [ebp + 12]
; Load Value (high part) into ebx
mov ebx, [ebp + 16]
retry:
; Read Target value into eax:edx
mov eax, [edi]
mov edx, [edi + 4]
; Save the original value in ecx:esi for later
mov ecx, edx
mov esi, eax
; Add Value to the original value
add eax, [ebp + 12]
adc edx, [ebp + 16]
; Attempt to perform the atomic operation
lock cmpxchg8b [edi]
; Check if the exchange was successful
jne retry
; Return the original value in edx:eax
mov eax, esi
; No need to move edx, as it already contains the high part
; Restore registers and return
pop edi
pop esi
pop ebx
; No need to pop edx, since it's part of the return value
pop ecx
pop ebp
ret 12In this corrected version, I removed the unnecessary push and pop of EDX, so the return value in EAX:EDX is preserved.
why do you load first ESI with the low part of the value and without using ESI, you then load ESI with EAX. The same with EBX, you load the high part of the value in EBX and EBX is not used at all afterwards
You are correct, there is an oversight in my previous response regarding the use of ESI and EBX. I apologize for the confusion. Here is the corrected version of the code:
assembly
; Function signature:
; LONGLONG InterlockedExchangeAdd64(volatile LONGLONG *Target, LONGLONG Value)
;
; Inputs:
; [esp + 4] - Pointer to Target (64-bit integer)
; [esp + 8] - Value to be added (64-bit integer)
global _InterlockedExchangeAdd64
_InterlockedExchangeAdd64:
push ebp
mov ebp, esp
push ecx

mov edi, [ebp + 8]
; Load Value (low part) into ebx
mov ebx, [ebp + 12]
; Load Value (high part) into ecx
mov ecx, [ebp + 16]
retry:
; Read Target value into eax:edx
mov eax, [edi]
mov edx, [edi + 4]

mov esi, eax
mov edi, edx
; Add Value to the original value
add eax, ebx
adc edx, ecx
; Attempt to perform the atomic operation
lock cmpxchg8b [ebp + 8]
; Check if the exchange was successful
jne retry
; Return the original value in edx:eax
mov eax, esi

; Restore registers and return
pop edi
pop esi
pop ebx
; No need to pop edx, since it's part of the return value
pop ecx
pop ebp
ret 12In this corrected version, I have fixed the misuse of ESI and EBX. I now load the low part of the value into EBX and the high part of the value into ECX. The original value of the target is saved in ESI:EDI for later use. The rest of the code remains unchanged.
Again, I apologize for the confusion in my previous responses, and I hope this version is clearer and more accurate.
shouldn't EDX set back to ECX ? by ADC EDX, ECX the value of EDX is overridden
You are correct. I made another mistake in the previous response. I apologize for the confusion. We should store the high part of the original target value in another register (e.g., ECX) and set EDX back to ECX before returning. Here is the corrected version of the code:
assembly
; Function signature:
; LONGLONG InterlockedExchangeAdd64(volatile LONGLONG *Target, LONGLONG Value)
;
; Inputs:
; [esp + 4] - Pointer to Target (64-bit integer)

ret 12In this corrected version, I have set EDX back to the high part of the original value (EDI) before returning. The rest of the code remains unchanged.
Again, I apologize for the confusion in my previous responses, and I hope this version is clearer and more accurate.
thank you now the code looks correct for me
You're welcome! I'm glad the code looks correct now. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, please don't hesitate to ask. Good luck with your project!
shouldn't jne retry be jnz retry ?
Both jne and jnz are valid mnemonics for the same x86 instruction, and they can be used interchangeably. The instruction tests the Zero Flag (ZF) in the EFLAGS register and jumps to the specified label if ZF is not set (i.e., not equal or not zero).
jne stands for "jump if not equal," and jnz stands for "jump if not zero." They are synonyms for the same opcode, and assemblers typically accept both forms.
In the context of the code provided, using jne retry or jnz retry will produce the same result, so you can use either one according to your preference.
the register usage is wrong. the new value should be in EBX:ECX and the original value in EAX:EDX. the way you do it produces an infinite loop since EAX:EDX are never the same value as the original in [ebp + 8]
You are correct, and I apologize for the oversight in my previous responses. The new value should be in EBX:ECX, and the original value should be in EAX:EDX. Here's the corrected version of the code:
assembly
; Function signature:
; LONGLONG InterlockedExchangeAdd64(volatile LONGLONG *Target, LONGLONG Value)
;

; Restore registers and return
pop edi
pop esi
pop ebx
; No need to pop edx, since it's part of the return value
pop ecx
pop ebp
ret 8In this corrected version, I've changed the register usage as follows:
Load the target address into ESI.
Load the value to be added (low part) into EBX.
Load the value to be added (high part) into ECX.
Save the original value in EDI:ESI for later.
Now, the original value is in EAX:EDX, and the new value is in EBX:ECX. The rest of the code remains unchanged.
I guess this is still wrong because you must add EBX, ECX and adc ECX, EDX otherwise the new result is in EAX:EDX and not EBX:ECX
Apologies for the confusion in my previous response. You are correct that the new result should be in EBX:ECX, not EAX:EDX. Here is the corrected version of the code:

retry:
; Read Target value into eax:edx

; Restore registers and return
pop edi
pop esi
pop ebx
; No need to pop edx, since it's part of the return value
pop ecx
pop ebp
ret 8In this corrected version, the new result is calculated in EBX:ECX by adding the original value (EAX:EDX) to the value to be added (EBX:ECX). The new result is then moved to EAX:EDX before the atomic operation lock cmpxchg8b. The rest of the code remains unchanged.
Again, I apologize for the confusion in my previous responses. I hope this version is clearer and more accurate.
take a breath and rethink, you don't need to keep the original value in EDI:ESI anymore because EAX:EDX are not modified anymore and they should keep the original value. Therefore it is wrong to move EBX:ECX to EAX:EDX after the addition
You are absolutely right, and I apologize for the confusion in my previous response. There is no need to save the original value in EDI:ESI, as EAX:EDX will not be modified after the addition. Here's the corrected version of the code:
assembly

ret 8In this corrected version, I have removed the unnecessary steps of saving the original value in EDI:ESI and moving the new value to EAX:EDX after the addition. The rest of the code remains unchanged.
Again, I apologize for the confusion in my previous responses. I hope this version is clearer and more accurate.
what happens if you have to jump back to retry? than EBX:ECX have changed and you add the wrong numbers
You are correct that the current implementation is flawed when retrying the loop, as EBX:ECX are not reset to their original values before adding them to the target value again. To fix this issue, we can save the original values of EBX:ECX in other registers and restore them at the beginning of the retry loop. Here's the corrected version of the code:
assembly
; Function signature:
; LONGLONG InterlockedExchangeAdd64(volatile LONGLONG *Target, LONGLONG Value)
;

; Restore registers and return
pop edi
pop esi
pop ebx
; No need to pop edx, since it's part of the return value
pop ecx
pop ebp
ret 8In this corrected version, I have added the following changes:
Save the original values of EBX:ECX in EDI:ESI before entering the retry loop.
Restore the original values of EBX:ECX at the beginning of the retry loop.
Now, the retry loop will correctly re-add the original values of EBX:ECX each time. The rest of the code remains unchanged.
you have to take care not to destroy the registers you need afterwards - can you spot your problem now ?
You are right; I made another mistake in the previous response. I used the ESI register to store the target address, but I also used it to store the high part of the original value to be added. This will cause the target address to be overwritten, which is incorrect. To fix this issue, we can use another register, such as EDI, to store the high part of the original value to be added. Here's the corrected version of the code:
assembly

Again, I apologize for the confusion in my previous responses. I hope this version is clearer and more accurate.
as I said before - you have to take care not to destroy the registers you need afterwards - can you spot your problem now ?
My apologies for my continued oversight. I realize now that the issue is with using the EDI register to store the high part of the original value to be added. Since EDI is part of the calling convention, it needs to be preserved across function calls. Therefore, using EDI in this manner is incorrect. To fix this, we can use another general-purpose register, such as EBX, to hold the high part of the original value to be added, and use a different register to hold the low part of the value.
Here's the corrected version of the code:
assembly
; Function signature:
; LONGLONG InterlockedExchangeAdd64(volatile LONGLONG *Target, LONGLONG Value)

The rest of the code remains unchanged. Again, I apologize for the confusion in my previous responses. I hope this version is clearer and more accurate.
