/*
IASIOThiscallResolver.cpp see the comments in iasiothiscallresolver.h for
the top level description - this comment describes the technical details of
the implementation.
The latest version of this file is available from:
http://www.audiomulch.com/~rossb/code/calliasio
please email comments to Ross Bencina <rossb@audiomulch.com>
BACKGROUND
The IASIO interface declared in the Steinberg ASIO 2 SDK declares
functions with no explicit calling convention. This causes MSVC++ to default
to using the thiscall convention, which is a proprietary convention not
implemented by some non-microsoft compilers - notably borland BCC,
C++Builder, and gcc. MSVC++ is the defacto standard compiler used by
Steinberg. As a result of this situation, the ASIO sdk will compile with
any compiler, however attempting to execute the compiled code will cause a
crash due to different default calling conventions on non-Microsoft
compilers.
IASIOThiscallResolver solves the problem by providing an adapter class that
delegates to the IASIO interface using the correct calling convention
(thiscall). Due to the lack of support for thiscall in the Borland and GCC
compilers, the calls have been implemented in assembly language.
A number of macros are defined for thiscall function calls with different
numbers of parameters, with and without return values - it may be possible
to modify the format of these macros to make them work with other inline
assemblers.
THISCALL DEFINITION
A number of definitions of the thiscall calling convention are floating
around the internet. The following definition has been validated against
output from the MSVC++ compiler:
For non-vararg functions, thiscall works as follows: the object (this)
pointer is passed in ECX. All arguments are passed on the stack in
right to left order. The return value is placed in EAX. The callee
clears the passed arguments from the stack.
FINDING FUNCTION POINTERS FROM AN IASIO POINTER
The first field of a COM object is a pointer to its vtble. Thus a pointer
to an object implementing the IASIO interface also points to a pointer to
that object's vtbl. The vtble is a table of function pointers for all of
the virtual functions exposed by the implemented interfaces.
If we consider a variable declared as a pointer to IASO:
IASIO *theAsioDriver
theAsioDriver points to:
object implementing IASIO
{
IASIOvtbl *vtbl
other data
}
in other words, theAsioDriver points to a pointer to an IASIOvtbl
vtbl points to a table of function pointers:
IASIOvtbl ( interface IASIO : public IUnknown )
{
(IUnknown functions)
0 virtual HRESULT STDMETHODCALLTYPE (*QueryInterface)(REFIID riid, void **ppv) = 0;
4 virtual ULONG STDMETHODCALLTYPE (*AddRef)() = 0;
8 virtual ULONG STDMETHODCALLTYPE (*Release)() = 0;
(IASIO functions)
12 virtual ASIOBool (*init)(void *sysHandle) = 0;
16 virtual void (*getDriverName)(char *name) = 0;
20 virtual long (*getDriverVersion)() = 0;
24 virtual void (*getErrorMessage)(char *string) = 0;
28 virtual ASIOError (*start)() = 0;
32 virtual ASIOError (*stop)() = 0;
36 virtual ASIOError (*getChannels)(long *numInputChannels, long *numOutputChannels) = 0;
40 virtual ASIOError (*getLatencies)(long *inputLatency, long *outputLatency) = 0;
44 virtual ASIOError (*getBufferSize)(long *minSize, long *maxSize,
long *preferredSize, long *granularity) = 0;
48 virtual ASIOError (*canSampleRate)(ASIOSampleRate sampleRate) = 0;
52 virtual ASIOError (*getSampleRate)(ASIOSampleRate *sampleRate) = 0;
56 virtual ASIOError (*setSampleRate)(ASIOSampleRate sampleRate) = 0;
60 virtual ASIOError (*getClockSources)(ASIOClockSource *clocks, long *numSources) = 0;
64 virtual ASIOError (*setClockSource)(long reference) = 0;
68 virtual ASIOError (*getSamplePosition)(ASIOSamples *sPos, ASIOTimeStamp *tStamp) = 0;
72 virtual ASIOError (*getChannelInfo)(ASIOChannelInfo *info) = 0;
76 virtual ASIOError (*createBuffers)(ASIOBufferInfo *bufferInfos, long numChannels,
long bufferSize, ASIOCallbacks *callbacks) = 0;
80 virtual ASIOError (*disposeBuffers)() = 0;
84 virtual ASIOError (*controlPanel)() = 0;
88 virtual ASIOError (*future)(long selector,void *opt) = 0;
92 virtual ASIOError (*outputReady)() = 0;
};
The numbers in the left column show the byte offset of each function ptr
from the beginning of the vtbl. These numbers are used in the code below
to select different functions.
In order to find the address of a particular function, theAsioDriver
must first be dereferenced to find the value of the vtbl pointer:
mov eax, theAsioDriver
mov edx, [theAsioDriver] // edx now points to vtbl[0]
Then an offset must be added to the vtbl pointer to select a
particular function, for example vtbl+44 points to the slot containing
a pointer to the getBufferSize function.
Finally vtbl+x must be dereferenced to obtain the value of the function
pointer stored in that address:
call [edx+44] // call the function pointed to by
// the value in the getBufferSize field of the vtbl
SEE ALSO
Martin Fay's OpenASIO DLL at http://www.martinfay.com solves the same
problem by providing a new COM interface which wraps IASIO with an
interface that uses portable calling conventions. OpenASIO must be compiled
with MSVC, and requires that you ship the OpenASIO DLL with your
application.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Ross Bencina: worked out the thiscall details above, wrote the original
Borland asm macros, and a patch for asio.cpp (which is no longer needed).
Thanks to Martin Fay for introducing me to the issues discussed here,
and to Rene G. Ceballos for assisting with asm dumps from MSVC++.
Antti Silvast: converted the original calliasio to work with gcc and NASM
by implementing the asm code in a separate file.
Fraser Adams: modified the original calliasio containing the Borland inline
asm to add inline asm for gcc i.e. Intel syntax for Borland and AT&T syntax
for gcc. This seems a neater approach for gcc than to have a separate .asm
file and it means that we only need one version of the thiscall patch.
Fraser Adams: rewrote the original calliasio patch in the form of the
IASIOThiscallResolver class in order to avoid modifications to files from
the Steinberg SDK, which may have had potential licence issues.
Andrew Baldwin: contributed fixes for compatibility problems with more
recent versions of the gcc assembler.
