name word as a member of a structure

[LordAdef]

Hello everyone!
So, The code below gives me no name conflict (I am on UASM):

.data?
name dd ?

However, I get a syntax error when 'name' is a structure member:

someStruct STRUCT   
   foo     dd ?   
   name dd ?
someStruct ends

I am playing around with the BASS library and there are two structures with 'name' members.I am sure this is very stupid, but 'name' is clashing with what?

Hello,

Reading \masm32\include\windows.inc :

IMAGE_SECTION_HEADER STRUCT
    Name1 db IMAGE_SIZEOF_SHORT_NAME dup(?)
    union Misc
        PhysicalAddress dd  ?
        VirtualSize dd      ?

    VirtualAddress dd       ?
    SizeOfRawData dd        ?
    PointerToRawData dd     ?
    PointerToRelocations dd ?
    PointerToLinenumbers dd ?
    NumberOfRelocations dw  ?
    NumberOfLinenumbers dw  ?
    Characteristics dd      ?
IMAGE_SECTION_HEADER ENDS

IMAGE_SYMBOL STRUCT
    union N
        ShortName db 8 dup(?)
        struct Name1
            Short1 dd       ?
            Long1 dd        ?
        ends
        LongName dd 2 dup(?)
    ends
    Value dd                ?
    SectionNumber dw        ?
    Type1 dw                ?
    StorageClass db         ?
    NumberOfAuxSymbols db   ?
IMAGE_SYMBOL ENDS

Iczelion's explanation :

Field Meanings Name1 Actually the name of this field is "name" but the word "name" is an MASM keyword so we have to use "Name1" instead.

Hi Alex!

You can to try AsmC, because Nidud modified reserved words to make developments compatibles with name, type, etc very usual in libraries.

You can to try AsmC, because Nidud modified reserved words to make developments compatibles with name, type, etc very usual in libraries.

Which implies that in order to use AsmC your commandline needs /Zne or /Znk - otherwise you get a bunch of meaningless error messages. Recent versions of RichMasm check for AsmC and add /Znk automatically, but if you have used e.g. OPT_DebugA /Fl to force a listing, assembly will fail unless you add manually /Znk

No. /Znk disable modifications and you have reserved word name again, instead of .name .
Apparently if you want to use libraries with name, type, etc, then you have to change your code. It's not my case.

[jj2007]

You seem to have a lot of experience, HSE, perhaps you can help me: Why do I get these errors with AsmC if I don't put /Zne o /Znk?

Btw lenght and hight were never reserved words. You can use them freely in your code

I use /Znk.

Yep. I find it just a little bit weird to break by default a key function of the assembler. Probably nidud never used macros
