I'm trying to figure out how to reverse an array in assembly in a way that makes it as flexible as possible. The code I have so far is this:
; This program takes an integer array and reverses it's elements, using a loop, the SIZE, TYPE and LENGTHOF
; operators.
TITLE lab4 (lab4.asm)
INCLUDE Irvine32.inc
.data
arr DWORD 1h, 2h, 3h, 4h, 5h, 6h ; Array of integers with 6 elements.
len DWORD LENGTHOF arr / 2 ; The length of the array divided by 2.
;rng DWORD LENGTHOF arr ; The complete length of the array.
.code
main PROC
mov eax, len ; Moves the length (divided by 2) into the eax register.
mov ebx, len ; Sets the ebx register to 0 to serve as the counter.
mov ecx, len ; Loads the length of the array into the ecx register.
mov edx, len ; Sets a counter that starts at the end of the array.
dec edx
; Start of the loop
L1:
mov eax, arr[esi + (TYPE arr * ebx)] ; Assigns to eax the value in the current beginning counter.
xchg eax, arr[esi + (TYPE arr * edx) ] ; Swaps the value in eax with the value at the end counter.
mov arr[esi + (TYPE arr * ebx)], eax ; Assigns the current beginning counter the value in eax.
dec edx ; Decrements the end counter by 1.
inc ebx ; Increments the beginning counter by 1.
loop L1
; end of the loop
mov ecx, LENGTHOF arr
mov ebx, 0
; Start of loop
L2: ; Loop that runs through the array to check and make sure
mov eax, arr[esi + (TYPE arr * ebx)] ; the elements are reversed.
inc ebx
call DumpRegs
loop L2
; End of loop
exit
main ENDP
END main
This works, but only if the array has an even number of elements. What should I do to make it work for an odd number as well?
