PostPosted: Sun Oct 03, 2010 12:08 pm    Post subject: C++ to Delphi Help Reply with quote

I need help in convert this 2 line to delphi. I don't know C++ and what is char*.

Code:
char* MP = (char*)malloc(100);


And
Code:
memcmp( (void*)(MP+c), (void*)varbytes, strlen( varbytes) )


"varbytes" and "MP" is a char*.
"c" is a unsigned long


Also, I have a question about delphi. How to I create a variable in the statement(between the begin and end;) instead of before the statement? I don't want to waste a lot unused array. I want the program to be able to change the no. of array during runtime.

Thank you for helping

Code:

char* MP = (char*)malloc(100);

is
Code:

var MP: pchar;
...
getmem(mp,100);


Code:

memcmp( (void*)(MP+c), (void*)varbytes, strlen( varbytes) )

is
Code:

CompareMem(mp+c, varbytes, strlen(varbytes));

assuming varbytes is also a pchar

remember that strlen stops when a 0-terminator is encountered, so if this is for an aob scanner it's useless

you don't create variables inside a statement, but you can allocate and resize a dynamic array using setlength

e.g:
Code:

var bla: array of byte;
begin
  setlength(bla,1)
  bla[0]:=$90;

  //then you find out you need more so:
  setlength(bla,3)
  bla[1]:=$90;
  bla[2]:=$90;

//the array bla is destroyed on function exit
end;

Another question
How do I convert a pchar into a pointer?

not, it's already a pointer

but if you insist : pointer(pcharvar) but really, there is no need
