That code is perfectly valid, and is more or less exactly what you would get from MSVC.

Furthermore, enter and leave generally take up more cycles than the push/move/pop sequence.

Its perfectly valid, but it looks like someone set their optimization level to -3

The entire function could be inlined with just mov eax, [ecx + 4]

Almost all code generation is like that, even with optimization on. It'd be extremely difficult to write a compiler that could take all the possible combinations of methods into account and generate "perfect code". This is why lower level code is almost always faster.

I do agree with this, but it doesnt even look like its trying to produce good code, and there is no excuse for not using leave, wasting 4 cycles for every function fucks with my OCD

I'll be uploading my changes to libdespotify soon, but with a couple of bits left out, because I don't want to get lawyered up the ass.

Hopefully this will make it easier for anyone wanting to do what I've done for themselves.

It's funny how you say

Read the libspotify license, there are some important things to note; for example you CAN NOT "attempt to embed or integrate the API into any website or otherwise allow access to the Service via the web rather than via the Application.".

and then do exactly that.

I don't think he's exactly "allowing access to the Service" by manipulating playlists?

I didn't write that disclaimer, the guy who I forked the code from did.

But anyway, I'm not allowing anyone else access, so technically speaking I'm not breaking the ToS?

How does one actually read disassembled code properly?

Well it's random really, One night I was looking at some disassembled ASM from GlobalMS Beta. And I just randomly went "Well crap, I know what that does" and pretty much now I just understand it. Just god forbid I try to write it

Really id say get a few simple programs and use a debugger like IDA or olly. (I prefer IDA as it has a graph view.) Then just step through the code and watch out what it outputs. You will catch on pretty fast.

Can't decide between doing my anonymous issue reporting in asp.net or php. I want to do asp.net so its something I can put on portfolio but I want to use php for compatibility.

You can only master disassembly by writing large uncommented chunks of assembly, then needing to modify it a month later

Here is my go at it from a while ago.
[image]
Lol: http://cold.netburst.co.uk/file/background.png

So I saw these two images, and decided to go away and see if I could do something similar.
I'm working in Java, and I'm having a couple of issues which I can't pinpoint.

On my program's load, the user is prompted to find an image file to process and render as text. This image is loaded in, and converted to a BufferedImage so that I can get the RGB values of individual pixels.
In the method that is supposed to produce a new BufferedImage containing the text representation of the original image, the app basically cycles over the image in 5x5 pixel blocks, obtaining an average RGB value for that block and assigning the new image's colour to that average before writing the test character "p" to the top-left of the 5x5 block in a font which I believe would be the right size.

I can't check if it is, however, because no matter what I do or change, I get no real results from this method. The image produced is invariably a black and white grid. I've been through the code many times, using breakpoints and extensive tracing, and I am certain that everything up to the actual writing of the text is working. The average RGB colour is correct, for one thing, and yet I believe the program always draws in black or white.

I'm at the end of my ability to troubleshoot it, so I thought I'd ask if I could be pointed in a direction where a method for doing something like this might be found.

For anyone who may be interested in finding the issue, here's the source.
And here's the image I am using in testing:

I changed i to i*2 and j to j*2 on line 109 and got this:

So that black and white grid is actually a bunch of p's.
I tried changing the font and the font size but neither seemed to have any effect.

Interesting, I would never have tried that :L
Now that I've got some text to work with, I will have another stab at working out why the colour assignment is not working.

Thanks much, sir!
