Hi, people!

I'm trying to get a relative offset for an operand. I can get absolute address with get_dword_value, that works okay even with forward references. But how could I get the current PC?

Privalov, can you also explain the next_pass_needed symbol? I mean, what can set it to TRUE, and when we need to bother with it, when parsing an instruction.

Thanks in advance.

get_relative_offset calculates the (address-$) value, it does it by adding the $ and substraction operation symbols at the end of expression calculation (the fasm's expression calculator works in RPN). The value of $ symbol itself is calculated internally by expression calculator at "current_offset_label" and it does it by substracting the 64-bit [org_origin] variable from the current code generation pointer, zero-extended to 64 bits.

When writing an instruction handler, you usually don't have to bother with [next_pass_needed] variable, the routines like "get_dword_value" do it for you. However I already posted once the detailed description of how fasm determines when the next pass is needed, look here:

Very thank you! I'll re-read how jmp/jcc are implemented to see what I made wrong.

And I'll read the link you have passed, I think it would be very instructive.
