Please correct me if I am wrong. I have prepared a short list of these things as far as my noobish experience is concerned. Could be useful to new migrators.

[End of the 'short' list. Please continue to number 2 and beyond] :greenclp:
ML64 does not support invoke but MASM64 does. Test piece below works fine.

Good! I know that :D
But I was referring to the instruction set. Don't understand why ML64 skips "invoke". It's a valid x86 instruction anyway. Seems like ML64 is not in complete agreement with the ISA.
xor reg64, imm64 works?
"invoke" is not an Intel mnemonic, its originally in the 16 and 32 bit versions of MASM a method to automate procedure calls. The invoke in the example is a macro as 64 bit MASM is an unconfigured low level assembler but it is a MACRO assembler which makes these macros possible.
oh ok. Thanks for the correction.
So I deleted number 1 or 2. Must have read it wrong somewhere :eusa_boohoo:
So the list is opened from point #1 then :lol:

Even this one assembles without errors:
invoke MessageBox, 0, "MASM64 does support 'invoke' notation", "Correct", MB_OK, 123, "that's great"Here (http://masm32.com/board/index.php?topic=5956.msg63195#msg63195) you can find a beautiful
.if macro that improves on ugly obsolete MASM syntax like
.if eax<=ecx 8)

Probably, MS is "trying" to discourage the coders from using ml.exe

:lol: :icon_rolleyes:
:biggrin:

If your grasp of 64 bit assembler is so poor, perhaps you should stick to Visual Garbage generators.

Well, real men[TM] code the serious stuff in mnemonics where it matters, not everyone is rusted onto 1990 Microsoft code, especially Microsoft. :badgrin:
