Jwasm limitations
« on: August 13, 2021, 06:29:36 PM »
Hello,
JWASM allow to debug  source code in 32 bits(more than 10 lines) in source mode(following the source) without problems,he is the only one to do that.
But ... he don't accept record in 64 bits  and don't accept long chain of constants like those ones in the attachments.
The problem is put in a comment ,delet it and link say the object file is corrupted.(win 10,VS2019 linker).

Of course, a "bad" object file should *never* be created - will look into it ASAP.

A side note: bug reports for jwasm should be done in github directly.

The error was actually a buffer overflow, due to text macro expansion creating a line that exceeded the max line length (of 600).

At github, there's a v2.15 jwasm prerelease now: https://github.com/Baron-von-Riedesel/JWasm/releases/tag/v2.15pre1

The "bad object" (or crash) error shouldn't happen anymore, but of course jwasm does now emit error "line too long".

Good to see that jwasm is still updated  :thumbsup:
The logic of the error is hidden among the most unexpected lines of the program
