Transpose a matrix

It's a mystery to me.  :(

For me, too. Did you try different assemblers and/or linkers? I tried a number of options, none produced a non-zero result.

The commandline options used,

Code Select Expand

@echo off

if exist "Align_64.obj" del "Align_64.obj"
\masm32\bin\ml.exe /c /coff "Align_64.Asm"
if errorlevel 1 goto Einde

if exist "Align_64.exe" del "Align_64.exe"
\masm32\bin\Link.exe /SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE /OPT:NOREF /OUT:Align_64.exe Align_64.obj
if errorlevel 1 goto Einde

Align_64.exe

:Einde

Stripped the assembler and the linker from the vs2015.com_enu.iso
Still the same result.....

Same result with Polink.exe

I can produce the error with /debug and the M$ linkers (6.14 and 9.0), but not with polink.

I'm clueless.
Maybe it's how my CPU handles things......

Entry point is 401120h (32 bit aligned)

No, your CPU is not the culprit. I can produce the same error. It's the linker... all linkers, actually :(
The macro adds the right number of nops afaics.

[Siekmanski]

Which linker do you use ?

[jj2007]

Mostly polink, then ML link 5.12 or 10.0
I've given up on other LINK versions, it's dll hell:

Code Select Expand

LINKV14 : fatal error LNK2023: bad DLL or entry point 'msobj140.dll'
etc etc

I just don't have the energy to shove the missing DLLs around. Besides, polink and link10 are sufficient.

[Siekmanski]

Then it's not the linker. I used version 5.12 with the same wrong result.

libraries or include files then..

No, tried it.

[jj2007]

Try this one:

Code Select Expand

align_64 MACRO
Local curalign, tmp$
  repeat 3
  curalign=($-_TEXT) and 63
  tmp$ CATSTR <current alignment=>, %curalign
% echo tmp$
if curalign
nop
align 16
echo * align16
endif
  endm
endm

I get the impression that I do not understand what the linker really does :(
