The terminating ; null character remains in place. ; ; Algorithm: ; char * ; _strrev (string) ; char *string; ; { ; char *start = string; ; char *left = string; ; char ch; ; ; while (*string++) ; ; ; string -= 2; ; while (left < string) ; { ; ch = *left; ; *left++ = *string; ; *string-- = ch; ; } ; return(start); ; } ; ; NOTE: There is a check for an empty string in the following code. ; Normally, this would fall out of the "cmp si,di" instruction in the ; loop portion of the routine. However, if the offset of the empty ; string is 0 (as it could be in large model), then the cmp does not ; catch the empty string and the routine essentially hangs (i.e., loops ; moving bytes one at a time FFFFh times). An explicit empty string ; check corrects this. ; ;Entry: ; char *string - string to reverse ; ;Exit: ; returns string - now with reversed characters ; ;Uses: ; ;Exceptions: ; ;******************************************************************************* CODESEG public _strrev _strrev proc \ uses edi esi, \ string:ptr byte mov edi,[string] ; di = string mov edx,edi ; dx=pointer to string; save return value mov esi,edi ; si=pointer to string xor eax,eax ; search value (null) or ecx,-1 ; cx = -1 repne scasb ; find null cmp ecx,-2 ; is string empty?
