if you need a sar operand, try this:

Code:
sar     equ /1 shl
    


rol/ror cannot be emulated as simple

so:

x = var sar 4

assembles to:

x = var /1 shl 4

which means:

x = var/16

yes, that keeps sign bit, but is a bit slow.

But if anyone needs a really fast "sar" operator, then you should try implementing "sar" directly into Fasm. I had done this some time ago, but removed it because I didn't use it much! I also implemented "bsf" and "bsr" this way. "bsf" and "bsr" are unary operators, while "sar" is a binary one. If anyone needs such things, feel free to use it, but I don't thing Privalov should implement it in official releases (not used much enough)

Code:
;This file describes how to implement an "bsf", "bsr" and "sar" operator into Fasm.

;Changes to perform in "EXPRESSI.INC" follow.
;Search for the indicated commands.


;sar - operator:
;---------------

;After "cmp     al,0C1h
;       je      calculate_shr"
  cmp     al,0C3h
     je      calculate_sar
;After "zero_value:"
      calculate_sar:
     mov     edx,dword [edi+4]
   bt      edx,31
      jc      shr_negative
        mov     eax,[ebx+4]
 or      edx,edx
     jnz     sign_value
  mov     ecx,[edi]
   cmp     ecx,64
      jae     sign_value
  cmp     cl,32
       jae     sar_high
    mov     edx,[ebx]
   shrd    edx,eax,cl
  sar     eax,cl
      mov     [ebx],edx
   mov     [ebx+4],eax
 jmp     calculation_loop
      sar_high:
     cdq
 sub     cl,32
       sar     eax,cl
      mov     [ebx],eax
   mov     [ebx+4],edx
 jmp     calculation_loop
      sign_value:
   cdq
 mov     [ebx],edx
   mov     [ebx+4],edx
 jmp     calculation_loop


;bsf - operator:
;---------------

;After "cmp     al,0D1h
;       je      calculate_neg"
     cmp     al,0D2h
     je      calculate_bsf
       cmp     al,0D3h
     je      calculate_bsr
;After "calculate_neg:"
      calculate_bsf:
  xor     edx,edx
     cmp     [edi+8],dx
  jne     invalid_expression
  cmp     [edi+12],dl
 je      bsf_ok
      cmp     [error_line],edx
    jne     bsf_ok
      mov     eax,[current_line]
  mov     [error_line],eax
    mov     [error],invalid_use_of_symbol
      bsf_ok:
  bsf     eax,[edi]
   jnz     store_result_simple
 bsf     eax,[edi+4]
 add     al,32
      store_result_simple:
     mov     [edi],eax
   mov     [edi+4],edx
 add     edi,14h
     jmp     calculation_loop
      calculate_bsr:
        xor     edx,edx
     cmp     [edi+8],dx
  jne     invalid_expression
  cmp     [edi+12],dl
 je      bsr_ok
      cmp     [error_line],edx
    jne     bsr_ok
      mov     eax,[current_line]
  mov     [error_line],eax
    mov     [error],invalid_use_of_symbol
      bsr_ok:
  bsr     eax,[edi+4]
 lea     eax,[eax+32]
        jnz     store_result_simple
 bsr     eax,[edi]
   jmp     store_result_simple
