Hi, getting pretty far through updating one of my four projects to fasmg with CALM. Is end a reserved word? Not seeing it as such in the docs, but would make sense if it was.

Trying to use it as a jmp label:

Code:

1>..\src\main\asm\datap.asm [10] ..\src\main\asm\datap.inc [3] ..\src\main\asm\Includes.inc [2] ..\src\main\asm\Include/List.inc [1] ..\src\main\asm\Include/../List/List.inc [816]:
1>      jl end
1>jl [2] parse_jump_operand [25] parse_operand [38] (CALM)
1>EXEC : error : invalid use of symbol.

Have tried it as:

Code:

end:

and

Code:

.end:

The latter worked as a label, but not when jumping to it. Not a blocker! I'm converting these to completed: in the meantime and was just curious.

Please disregard. Had

Code:

.end:

instead of

Code:

end:

Can't reproduce now, was find/replacing incorrectly most likely. Will follow-up here if anything else surfaces.

If you have a problem defining a label that has the same name as existing instruction, you can do it this way:

Code:

?end:
        jmp     end

If an identifier is preceded by "?", it forces it to be interpreted as an expression-class symbol (instead of instruction-class).

No problem, I may have repro'd in the included file using

Code:

        end:

Code:

1>flat assembler  version g.iveex
1>..\src\main\asm\datap.asm [10] ..\src\main\asm\datap.inc [3] ..\src\main\asm\Includes.inc [2] ..\src\main\asm\Include/List.inc [1] ..\src\main\asm\Include/../List/List.inc [443]:
1>      end:
1>Processed: end:
1>EXEC : error : invalid argument.

A little hard to tell at this point since supressing one error is leading to the next. Still converting the entire project. Not a blocker, have the ?end: solution and may just rename these to completed:.

Got the project up to date, unit tests passing!
