That's easy: mov eax, offset start

What do you need it for?

[TouEnMasm]

lea eax(rax) ,start (mai,WinMain)  is more secured.
The start adress is dynamically allowed by the linker,the use of offset had good chance to be false.

the use of offset had good chance to be false.

Interesting, can you post an example?

Address of entry point is in PE-header.

Address of entry point is in PE-header.

Not really, the offset of _start symbol will ALSO be adjusted by the PE loader IF ASLR is used on a PE :D

So

Code Select Expand

mov eax,offset start
is safe to use with ASLR[/code]
