UASM 2.51

[KradMoonRa]

Hi LiaoMi

/Oi /arch:AVX2

But i think it will not get significant improvement.

Installing masm32sdk and investigating all above...


windows:
 Win Setup AVX2 Uninstall and Install again.
or
 Win binaries files AVX2 Copy hover.

[Why is there a big difference in timing ?! 

Just a dynamic linking to vcruntime140.dll
If a your software is too fast, just link it with ucrt and those speed problems are gone

/Oi /arch:AVX2

 Win binaries files AVX2

That's the crashing version. Above I attached a tiny demo that builds fine with MASM 6.14 and all others but doesn't work with your latest non-AVX2 UAsm.

Hi,

Chr$ macro has this error to my, figuring how to fix and test.

See reply #41. No MasmBasic, just plain Masm32 SDK - and it throws errors.

@KradMoonRa the same thing after deleting these lines, as I already wrote, the number of include files affects the appearance of this error

Something is wrong i can't direct reproduce in different system: just to debug trace the exit it ill help find the pointer in cause.

If you refer to the last version that is most likely the CV8 bug as this will trash random memory locations based on the number of source and include files.

The reason why this was not picked up earlier has to do with the size of the buffer as it is roomy enough for all the test cases used.

This may be tested by omitting the -Zi8 switch (assuming that is used in the test).

Hi nidud,

the compilation flag -Zi8 does not affect the error in this case. Fresh installation of masm32 really does not display any error.

@KradMoonRa Try to replace with this folder https://anonfiles.com/w9pdGflfu1/include_zip

[jj2007]

Fresh installation of masm32 really does not display any error.

What do you mean with this? Everybody should reinstall Masm32 to make UAsm work??

Hi jj2007,

  these are my test results, nothing more, KradMoonRa has installed a fresh release, so I wanted to find out why he does not have a memory error in his case. The fact is, the previous version did not have this problem. I'm talking about my test sample, not your macro  This means that my include files are different from the standard ones.

[KradMoonRa]

Yep, probably some weird binary symbol in text file...

LiaoMi
This inc files are 32bit or 64bits version?

32Bit only

Yep that is the error that @nidud has talking about, fixed Reply #31

[johnsa]

Unfortunately#31 hasn't fixed my corrupt debug info yet. Annoyingly it is only occurring on a massive project, and as I comment lines out/add back in the result changes so it's near on impossible to pin it down :(
I think I'll just have to carry on ignoring it until I can find a reproducable test case of it.

LiaoMi, I tested your MemOut file and it works fine for me with uasm32 and uasm64? Perhaps someone else can try too.

KradMoonRa, I'm thinking it's very confusing that you've got a fork going of UASM with different version numbers and the same name, perhaps we could agree on a name change for your package ?
Maybe something like Kuasm (just a thought following tradition with the naming) ?
