HJWASM 2.17 bugs

[jj2007]

A propos .Switch:

\Masm32\ObjAsm32\Code\Macros\System.inc

Code: [Select]

.switch macro Variable:req, CasReg:=<eax>
    mov    CasReg, Variable

    ??CasStk CatStr <CasReg>, <#>, ??CasFlg, <#>, ??CasStk
    ??CasVar    equ    CasReg
    ??CasFlg    equ    <0>                              ;;0 = emit an .if, 1 an .elseif
endm
That one chokes, of course... not the fault of HJWasm but friends of ObjAsm32 might not like this behaviour.

I have added that code because I was having "address to large" error for some unknown reason while running .SWITCH-.CASE
I have changed it to the previous code and tested with .SWITCH-.CASE and surprisingly enough it works fine.
We will upload a new version with these changes and see if it will run properly.

Hey all, 2.19 is up which should include all the fixes.

Cheers

2.19 works fine with my fat sources, thanks a lot to both of you :t

[habran]

It is our curse to make you happy

[johnsa]

Hahah.. but remember in so doing we also make ourselves happy! 

[jj2007]

My "thank you" is generic - MasmBasic works fine with ML 6.15 and higher, so my baby does not depend on your work. But I believe in competition, and I find that Micros**t needs competitors. You are doing a great service to the whole community :t

[habran]

Johnsa, you are correct 8)

I can't find documentation to this, but:

Code: [Select]

.drectve SEGMENT BYTE INFO
db '/subsystem:console',0
.drectve ENDShjwasm creates attributes IMAGE_SCN_CNT_INITIALIZED_DATA and IMAGE_SCN_LNK_INFO same way as ml even it is wrong
those should be IMAGE_SCN_LNK_INFO and IMAGE_SCN_LNK_REMOVE , 200h and 800h

PS: poasm.exe do it correctly.

EDIT:
Something about it here

The .drective section only appears in OBJ files. It contains text representations of commands for the linker.

as there is no way to put correct attributes with SEGMENT INFO, i think it is assembler's job to do that.

Version 2.20 is up on the site/GIT. The cmp/add/sub byte override is fixed, along with some other small bugs relating to vmovq encoding and option win64:6 mode.
