Thread: Int array

I have trouble passing an array to my assembler program. The thing is - I have an array "srt" which contains different characters for example "glammrr" and the assembler program stores into the array "set" only the differentiating characters - in this example it would be "glamr". And the array res counts the characters, in this example - "1,1,1,2,2". Now, I pass the res array as char * to the assembler program and everything's cool. But I have a problem with the int array.

In a similar task a fellow student had - he didn't have an int array, but only a single integer, so he called function like this APAR(str, strlen(str), &res, set). I don't know what to do in my case. Any ideas?

here's the C part.

Code:

    #include <stdio.h>                                       
    int main(int argc,char *argv) {                         
        int res[8];                                     
        int i;                                               
        int l=8;                                             
        char srt[ ]="glammrr";                           
        char set[ ]="";                                   
        void APAR(const char *, const int, int *, char *);   
        APAR(srt, strlen(srt), res, set);     
         for (i=0; i<l; i++) {               
         printf("&#37;c",srt[i]);             
        }                                   
        printf("\n");                         
        for (i=0; i<l; i++) {               
         printf("%c", set[i]);             
        }                                   
         printf("\n");                         
         for (i=0; i<l; i++) {               
          printf("%d", res[i]);           
        }                                   
    }

btw I tried passing an array pointer to the assembler program, but that didn't work because I don't know how the assembler program can handle a pointer.

Also, I know the problem is here because the assembler program correctly produces the set array and it works correctly when is given a single number.

First, a good tip: Put function declarations at global scope, not inside functions and name the arguments it takes appropriately, even in the declaration.

Got a problem there? Take a look at:

It should answer your questions. Hopefully.

The article tells you exactly what you must do in your C code and how pointers work.
So you need to pass an array. The article tells how.
