Probably a dumb question ?

Can I still use ASSUME in 64bit to access structures

Assume rbx:Ptr Elf32_Ehdr

Mov [Rbx].e_ident, Rax ;

Van,

Not in ML64, you use the other notation and it works OK. It may work OK in one of the Watcom forks.

Thanks .. thought as much
Starting on my first serious 64 bit proggy... .. more reading to do.. :t

Van,

This format works in ML64.

    mov eax, lpRct

    mov (RECT PTR [eax]).left,   10
    mov (RECT PTR [eax]).top,    12
    mov (RECT PTR [eax]).right,  14
    mov (RECT PTR [eax]).bottom, 16

One of the Watcom folks should be able to help you with any of the forks.

      Assume rsi:PTR RECT           ; old and clumsy syntax but the Watcom forks can handle that

This code was assembled with ml64 in 64-bit format

Left/Top/Right/Bottom: 101/102/103/104

Always willing to help with assembler-related questions ;)

Thank you gentlemen..

Can I still use ASSUME in 64bit to access structures

I've mentioned before that the straw that broke the camel's back - made me, finally, reject ML64 in favor of HJWasm - was ASSUME. Microsoft took it out for no good reason, and I find it very convenient.

But one thing puzzles me - what the h*ll does this have to do with the ANC, and SA race problems?

[K_F]

Where do you get that from ?.. we're talking 64 bit here  ;)

[rrr314159]

True ... ANC is only about 8 bit, or perhaps 7 ...
