Calling Functions With In Classes From Address

How would i go about calling functions within classes from thier address?

Code:

void CallAddress( long Address ){

  if( !Address ) return;
       
__asm{
 mov eax, Address
 call eax
} 

return;
}

use like:

Code:

long Address = 0x401000;
CallAddress( Address );

It's a bit different when calling member functions. Plus that doesn't reaaaally handle any cases other than

Code:

<returntype> <functionname>(void)

You'd need different assembly for each.

Are you sure that will work with calling functions within classes?
i have this function:
void GameAudio::StopAllSounds(void)
its memory address is 0x004A0656
when ever i try call it it crashes.

You need to push the class instance pointer to the stack first.

could you give me an example by any chance?

i don't think this is possible

mov ecx, instanceofclass
push ecx //not sure if needed
mov eax, address
call eax

would an instance of the class be an address?

yes. the address of the calling instance. for example

Code:

class Aclass
{
     void foo();
};

Aclass instance;
instance.foo();

ecx would be the address of instance.
ecx is just hidden in higher languages, it is basically a hidden first parameter.

ok i think i get it now so...
first i would have to find the class address say its 0x004A0650
and the function that resides inside is at 0x004A0656

i would do the following
mov ecx,0x004A0650
push ecx //not sure if needed
mov eax, 0x004A0656
call eax
? is this right?

if so please mark as solved

thanks kibbles

Marked Solved.

The first parameter of a function called within a class is always the instance of the class.

Code:

typedef void(__cdecl* fStopAllSounds)(GameAudio);
fStopAllSounds pStopAllSounds = (fStopAllSounds)0x004A0656;

int main() 
{
      pStopAllSounds(Instanc****ameAudio); //you need to get the instance of the class, can't help you there.
}

Yes there is the higher level way of doing it as void shows, but the reason it works is explained by my assembly way. And yes op, it should work

thanks everyone for answering my query

But why not just use polymorphism? That seems to be what you need. Polymorphism - C++ Documentation
